Spring 2026 Fellowship Opportunity - Institute for Ethics in Public Life

[Daniel Lake]

*Fellowship Opportunity – Call for Applications*

Spring 2026



The Institute for Ethics in Public Life supports SUNY Plattsburgh’s efforts
to inculcate in its students – and members of the community-at-large –
values of civic responsibility by providing fellowships for full-time
faculty members to spend a semester in residence at the Institute. During
their fellowship, Fellows participate in a faculty professional development
program that explores ways they can incorporate civic readiness skills and
ethical reasoning into the courses they teach (60 min./week + some prep
time). During the residency program, Fellows are also expected to
participate in the intellectual life of the Institute by attending
discussions and presentations organized by the Institute (60-90 min./week)
and spend time exploring significant issues of civic readiness/engagement
and ethics related to their own interests.



Thanks to generous gifts made to the Plattsburgh College Foundation and
support provided by SUNY Plattsburgh, these fellowships provide release
time from one course, a private office in the Institute’s well-appointed
space in Hawkins Hall, and the opportunity to become a member of a growing
community of scholars engaged in promoting civic learning and
responsibility on campus. There can be up to three faculty members in
residence for Spring, 2026.



Since the Institute was founded in Fall, 1998, almost 100 faculty members
from disciplines across campus have served as Fellows. Through the Fellows
program the Institute has helped to generate many new courses and in
redesigning others to incorporate a more explicit focus on civic
responsibility and public ethics. In addition, through the Fellows program
the Institute has aided in shaping a number of books and grants as well as
numerous professional papers and presentations.



To apply for this fellowship please complete the application and email it
with a current C.V. to Dr. Daniel Lake, Director of the Institute for
Ethics in Public Life, at dlake001 at plattsburgh.edu. Applications will be
approved on a rolling basis and will close either when three Fellows have
been selected or on September 8, 2025. If you have any questions about the
Fellowship program or application process, please contact Dr. Lake via
Email or at 518-564-5833.
