KU honors faculty with $5,000 Kemper fellowships

Most students probably expect discussion of the syllabus and expectations on the first day of class. A handful got a visit from new Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and a camera crew informing them they were in class with one of KU’s best educators.

Gray-Little and fellow administrators made several surprise visits to classes over the first few days of class to present W.T. Kemper Fellowships. In all, 20 faculty members will receive the fellowships. The fellowships, determined by a faculty panel, recognize faculty members for outstanding teaching and advising and come with a $5,000 award.
