<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:106%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">University Honors is growing and we have a need for an additional three or four Ignition Seminars this fall. These courses are a critical element of our
programming and constitute a vital part of the honors curriculum. A description of these small classes is given below:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><u><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:106%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Ignition Seminars<o:p></o:p></span></u></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:106%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Ignition seminars are small inter-disciplinary courses that are limited to fifteen first-year students from all schools and colleges. Depending on the
specific topic that is chosen by the faculty member, Ignition seminars are interdisciplinary in nature and students receive breadth credit in either humanities (HNPG 16), social sciences (HNPG 17), or interdisciplinary studies (HNPG 18). Classes meet for 3
hours each week with an emphasis on reading the literature, oral presentations, essays, and papers to prepare them for the rigor of an honors education. Classes are generally repeatable only once but may serve as a testing ground for future UCR courses in
other programs. Faculty members who are selected to teach an ignition seminar will receive a $5,000 stipend each year with student evaluations of teaching submitted to their home department.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:106%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">To apply to teach an ignition seminar, please fill out an application with a brief description of your course at this address:<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:106%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Applications will be considered on a rolling basis and decisions will be made no later than June 30, 2022.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
