New Bringing Theory to Practice (BT2P) Initiative: The Changemakers Fellowship

Posted by Bringing Theory to Practice on November 17, 2026

Bringing Theory to Practice (BT2P) is piloting an important new initiative in spring, 2027: the Changemakers Fellowship.  The Fellowship is a professional development opportunity (fully online and at nominal cost) centered on supporting  the values, skills, and networks to advance bold, positive change in higher education.  The Fellowship offers an alternative and complement to current positional leadership development programs.  It is open to faculty, staff, and administrators in all roles, issues areas, and academic sectors—anyone committed to advancing holistic, transformative, inclusive education and the need for big change.

The Fellowship emerged from BT2P’s changemakers network and was developed by a network working group. I hope you can see how deeply the experience of the EM community of practice informed its values and design.  I hope too it will appeal to folks in the extended networks of our CoP.

To learn more about this exciting initiative and exploring participating, you can visit this overview of the Fellowship and this FAQ.  You can express your interest here and apply for the Fellowship here.  Please also spread the word to anyone who might be interested, and feel free to contact me with any questions at scobey@bttop.org.
