Honors faculty models are often characterized by disciplinary and structural diversity. As new models are introduced, it is easy to amplify the structural heterogeneity of the faculty. How do we strengthen community and inclusion amidst such innovation and multiplicity? Using experiences and data drawn from the University of Maine Honors College, this session will examine how we can confront these potential challenges in constructive ways that remain open to innovation and change, while preserving community and fostering inclusivity.
