The L&S Faculty Fellows Program is an innovative model that retains young faculty members who are lured away by outside offers at peer institutions.  The Faculty Fellows Program provides $10,000 annually over five years to meritorious faculty to use in their research, teaching and public service.

The program was spearheaded by the L&S Board of Visitors and piloted in 2007. Since then, the program has achieved a 100% retention rate for all 28 Faculty Fellows.  It is now being used at a model across UW-Madison to retain top faculty and reward rising stars.
