Fellowship Tracks

The Fellowship offers three different tracks which are described below.

Track 1: Thought Leadership

Develop an essay to be published by the Hartman Institute in a self-published journal, on a topic related to the course of study. The capstone will include mentorship from Hartman faculty as well as guidance and feedback on essay drafts from Hartman faculty and staff.

Track 2: Design Thinking

Learn the skills of design thinking to make recommendations for SHI NA’s iEngage curricular team during the 2020-2021 calendar year. This project includes training in design thinking methodology, conducting research, and advancing recommendations to the Hartman campus team, with guidance and feedback from Hartman faculty and staff.

Track 3: TechEd

The coronavirus pandemic has shifted the ways in which we learn and requires a much greater emphasis on educational technology to support virtual learning. This track of the internship will help our team develop better web tools, assist in the production of our podcast Identity/Crisis, and determine how the Institute better evaluates its distance learning programs.
