Faculty Role
Faculty provide a core service in our academic boot camps by ensuring that WSP participants experience a college-level course in a real-life setting. This experience helps to instill confidence and prompt motivation to pursue higher education. Your role, ultimately, is to be yourself; to share your expertise with participants and to run the class like you would with traditional college students. We highly encourage you to find ways to connect with participants and to share any advice you have for them as they transition from military service to higher education.
Note: The following are broad guidelines and not meant to be prescriptive. All units are flexible so that faculty can teach to their expertise and highlight important and interesting aspects of their work. Keep in mind the reading that students will have done for the day.
