Deep Dive Fellows

The Deep Dive Fellows support transformational leadership development by providing meaningful opportunities to the PLC community.

Deep Dive Fellows work towards personal, professional, and leadership growth through research, planning, design, iteration, and implementation of the following activities:

  • Identifying relevant, intersectional, socially divisive Deep Dive topics in Colorado.
  • Designing 2-3 Deep Dives per semester (includes identifying, contacting, and organizing speakers and interactive site-visits) per the PLC Design Process.
  • Ensuring a cohesive collaboration between the academic and experiential programs, and designing high-quality, well-organized, innovative events and speakers.
  • Consistently improving communication skills (e.g. thank you cards) with experiential program providers such as weekend hosts and speakers.
  • Researching and designing briefing materials for students to use in preparation for program activities - readings, questions, post-trip reflections.
  • Tracking and reviewing attendance and post-trip assignments.
  • Working with professional staff to track experiential programming-related expenditures.
  • Holding weekly design hours (~4 hours/week).
  • Attending weekly FLEXD course meetings - PRLC 2930 (Tuesdays 8-9:15am).

FLEXD fellows must pursue excellence and personal improvement because we need innovative and ethical leaders who are going to create meaningful change.
