TEACHING, RESEARCH, & MENTORING FELLOWS

Student engagement is at the heart of the Davidson Honors College. More than anything else, our success is driven by our ability to connect students with professors who inspire, challenge, and support them both in and out of the classroom. With that goal in mind, we are proud to announce the arrival of our first two Teaching, Research, and Mentoring (TRM) Fellows. TRM Fellows will teach full-time in the Davidson Honors College, energizing our curriculum by offering relevant, interdisciplinary honors seminars in their respective areas of expertise. Rachel Gross recently received her PhD in history from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She has a broad interest in United States History and Environmental History, but her specialty is the history of outdoor clothing and gear, “from buckskin to Gore-Tex.” Eliot Graham arrives at the University of Montana with a Master’s degree from Harvard University and a PhD in Education from Rutgers University. His desire to pursue a doctorate grew out of his experiences as a middle and high school teacher, especially his experiences working with low-income students of color. He is broadly concerned with issues of educational equity, particularly along the lines of race and class, and focuses specifically on questions related to authority in the classroom.

In addition to teaching duties, TRM Fellows will serve as research mentors to a cohort of students. As emerging leaders in their fields, they will collaborate with students to publish original research, develop new creative scholarship and connect students to both academic and professional opportunities. TRM Fellows will also engage in service to the College, reviewing Presidential Leadership Scholarship applications, mentoring honors theses, and contributing to the welcoming community that we provide for our students, staff, and faculty.

The Postdoctoral TRM Fellows Program brings new, talented minds and energy to the Davidson Honors College and the University of Montana campus. The two-year duration of the fellowship allows for meaningful advising and mentoring relationships to develop between TRM Fellows and students, while serving as an innovative way to continually refresh the College’s teaching and research strategies. As our Postdoctoral TRM Fellows move on to prestigious research and teaching positions following their appointments at UM, our students will have unique access to a growing network of influential champions and mentors around the country.

The Davidson Honors College Career Development Program provides unmatched value to students and their families by complementing our innovative curriculum with a first-of-its-kind, comprehensive program dedicated to postgraduate success. As the Career Development Program grows, it will distinguish the Davidson Honors College as a national leader in the way we support the academic, personal, and professional development of our students. The mission of the Davidson Honors College Career Development Program is to promote the postgraduate success of our students and alumni. To that end, we:

1. Engage our students in developing and accomplishing postgraduate goals that align with their academic and personal interests, while maximizing their positive impact on society; 2. Promote opportunities for our students to develop professional skills throughout their academic experiences; and 3. Connect our students with professional career advisors, alumni mentors, and relevant employers and/or graduate programs.

Through this program, we deliver tailored career counseling and coaching sessions, resume clinics, support for graduate school applications, exclusive networking events, internship placements, connections with our new Honors Alumni Network, and other programming that will help students succeed at the highest level. We welcomed Kaetlyn Cordingley as our inaugural Director of Career Development in the fall of 2017. Katie works closely with our students, helping them think about career paths that inspire them and ways to develop the skills, knowledge, and experiences that are appropriate for that path. Katie will also connect students to employers and valuable career development resources that already exist across the University of Montana campus.

CAREER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

The Presidential Leadership Scholarship is the University of Montana’s premier academic award. Presidential Leadership Scholars are selected solely on the basis of merit, as judged by character, ability, intellectual curiosity, and academic performance. The Presidential Leadership Scholarship attracts some of the most talented students from our state – and across the United States – to the University of Montana campus. Presidential Leadership Scholars come from small towns like Emigrant and Glasgow, but they also come to Missoula from cities like San Diego, Minneapolis, and Seattle. As students at the University of Montana, Presidential Leadership Scholars excel in the classroom and often pursue original research and creative scholarship. Equally important, Scholars act as engaged citizens on campus and assume leadership positions in their community, state, and nation. The Davidson Honors College counts it as a distinct privilege to support our Presidential Scholars as they reach such great heights. How to apply: All DHC application forms completed and submitted to the Davidson Honors College by the first Friday in December will be considered for the Presidential Leadership Scholarship. Approximately 25 PLS awards are made each year. Every Presidential Leadership Scholar receives an annual stipend ($7,500 per year for a Gold PLS and $5,000 per year for a Silver PLS). Additionally, Presidential Leadership Scholars will receive a substantial tuition discount or waiver (depending on residency status).

PRESIDENTIAL LEADERSHIP SCHOLARSHIP

The 2017-2018 QUEST program is a joint effort between the UM Davidson Honors College and

the Office of the Mayor of Missoula. As part of the program, teams of DHC students work

collaboratively to research, design, and present policy solutions to a major, cross-disciplinary

challenge facing the Missoula community. Mayor Engen announced the topic of the 2017-2018

DHC QUEST Program at the DHC Convocation in fall of 2017. The QUEST Program is supported by

over $10,000 in funding and student teams will receive modest scholarship funds to support

their research. Students can also earn academic credit through HONR 495 – Honors Practicum.

Throughout the fall semester, students develop a working knowledge of the QUEST Program

Challenge, connecting with faculty and community resources, and exploring how other cities

approach similar problems, while also respecting the unique ways in which the challenge has

developed in Missoula. During the spring semester, teams will focus on a particular aspect of the

challenge and begin designing their solutions, which they present to a panel of campus and

community leaders. The panel selects a winning team based on the creativity and feasibility of its

proposed solution. Students from the winning team are awarded scholarships as well as a

summer internship in the Mayor’s Office, where they can work on implementing all, or part of, their winning proposal. The goal of the DHC QUEST Program is to serve as an experiential

learning opportunity that combines the best of academic innovation and civic engagement. DHC

students work together in diverse teams, using their analytical and creative strengths to design,

execute, and present their research projects and policy solutions. Through their work, students

gain an understanding that their academic insights can be both creative and important, and that

their ideas and hard work can have a positive impact on the Missoula community.

For any additional information regarding the program, or to ask how you and a team can take

part in this experience, please contact the DHC at dhc@umontana.edu. We are looking forward

to announcing the 2018-19 QUEST challenge!
