Priddy Fellows Learning Community
 As part of OCU’s campus-wide initiative to infuse the arts across the curriculum, it is essential to prepare and develop faculty to be innovative teacher-leaders in this work of arts integration. Toward that end, approximately eight OCU faculty are selected annually from across the disciplines to participate in an intensive, year-long learning community. These Priddy Fellows meet weekly during the spring and fall semesters to examine different theories of teaching and learning that might improve their teaching and to explore ways to incorporate greater creativity and utilize appropriate technology into their courses. At the end of the spring semester, members of the Priddy Fellows Learning Community participate in a week-long arts immersion experience—past fellows have traveled to places such as Santa Fe, Chicago, and San Francisco. One of the outcomes of the learning community is that each Priddy Fellow will teach (or team-teach) a new course that incorporates the arts into his/her discipline. [Learn More about Priddy Fellows]
