Transformational Learning Fellows

College of Education and Human Development

Transformational Learning Fellows are those students recognized for their commitment to engaging in high impact practices. Students who earn the Fellow distinction will have passed various academic, professional, and personal milestones while enrolled at Texas A&M University, and in doing so, prepare to be lifelong learners. Students will then receive a Transformational Learning Fellows certificate, as well as a medal to wear at graduation.

Students who are interested in committing to becoming Transformational Learning Fellows should contact Patrice French, Manager for Assessment and High Impact Practices at pfrench@tamu.edu

. The college will then enroll the students in a community on e-campus, where the students can then record and store their transformational learning experiences.

Students should accrue a minimum of 90 Academic Milestone points, 25 Professional Milestone points, and 10 Personal Milestone Points. A listing of the activities and associated credits is offered below.
