SJSU’s Inaugural Public Voices Fellows
A group of 22 faculty members have made SJSU history as the inaugural cohort of the Public Voices Fellows program. Public Voices is an exciting new professional development opportunity launched by the Office of the Provost, the Center for Faculty Development, and the OpEd Project, which aims to amplify expert voices that have been underrepresented in efforts to address today’s most pressing issues. Fellows learned what makes an idea contagious in the public sphere, how to frame ideas in ways that will have public impact, and strategies for influencing discourse on a broad scale.
