In 2016 the 3M National Teaching Fellowship reached a milestone in celebrating the 30th anniversary of the first fellowship in 1986. The fellowship is the premier award of the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education and each year up to 10 fellows are announced. Thus far, there has not been a systematic review or evaluation of the fellowship program. This study is a starting point to engage the various stakeholders and gather their perspectives regarding the fellowship program. This paper highlights the findings of a national questionnaire that targeted 3M National Teaching Fellows, administrators, educational developers, faculty, and students. The findings provide a snapshot of the awareness of the fellowship, the impact of fellows on their institutions and beyond, and recommendations for the future of the program.

Title: Creating a Formal Service-Oriented Curriculum in Pre-Medical Education -- The QuARMS Experience Author:Suart, Theresa Nowlan; Hastings-Truelove, Amber; Katsoulas, Eleni; Stockley, Denise; Mackenzie, Jennifer Subject:Premedical Students ; Medical Education ; Service Learning ; Foreign Countries ; College Curriculum ; Acceleration (Education) ; Student Experience ; Student Attitudes Description:
In September 2013, the Queen's University Accelerated Route to Medical School (QuARMS), an innovative 2-year premedical curriculum which combines coursework, seminars, fieldwork, and faculty mentorship, was developed. After successful completion of the program, students are eligible to enter medical school. A key aspect of this learning stream is the integrated service-learning aspect which is scaffolded across both years of study and includes in class sessions, community projects, mentoring, and assessment. This paper provides the results of a mixed-methods program evaluation designed to examine students' QuARMS service learning experiences. Overall, students were happy with the service learning component of the program, and indicated that the in-class and experiential service-learning sessions were beneficial. However, students also indicated that they wanted more structure and feedback while working on their projects.
