ISU Wakonse Fellows
Wakonse is a word from the Lakota Indian language that means "to teach ... to inspire." The Wakonse Foundation, in Columbia, Missouri, brings together people who find that inspiring and helping others to learn is what drew them into higher education. The foundation runs an annual Conference on College Teaching at which colleagues learn about themselves as teachers, explore new methods of teaching, and join a growing network of dedicated professionals who can share resources and offer mutual support.
Iowa State University sends a team of new Wakonse Fellows to the Conference on College Teaching each year, joining approximately 100 faculty members from other colleges and universities across the midwest. Wakonse Fellows are identified not only as exemplary teachers, but also as ones who inspire other faculty to enrich their own teaching. They are, in a word, models for the community of teacher/scholars.
