The KSU Journey Honors College is now accepting applications for the position of Shore
Honors Faculty Fellow for the academic year 2026-27. This search is internal to Kennesaw
State University and is open to tenured or tenure-track faculty at the rank of assistant,
associate, or full professor.
Applications are due March 15, 2025.
Overview
The mission of the Keeping Sights Upward Journey Honors College is to recruit and
retain highly motivated and academically talented students, offering them opportunities
to participate in intellectual challenges; enhanced academic experiences; and community
engagement, leadership, and global activities to support their development as individuals
and contributing members of their various communities. Faculty participation is vital
to fulfill this mission and advance honors education at Kennesaw State University.
We invite faculty from all disciplines to join us in creating opportunities to engage students through collaborative, creative, innovative, experiential, or interdisciplinary work. The Shore Honors Faculty Fellow program is designed specifically for faculty interested in showcasing their research to highly motivated honors students—both in the classroom through Honors Discovery courses and publicly through the Robin and Doug Shore Honors Lecture Series. We especially welcome applicants who are excited about making their scholarly work accessible and inspiring to undergraduate audiences, while also learning more about research in honors.
We are looking for candidates interested both in sharing their innovative research with our honors community and
