RALEIGH, N.C. — The Kenan Fellows Program for Teacher Leadership at N.C. State University announced its 2025–26 cohort of Kenan Fellows in recognition of National Teacher Day.
This year, thirty teachers representing 24 counties across North Carolina will embark on a transformative year of professional development. These fellows bring expertise from diverse subjects, including STEM, humanities, and special education.
Summer Industry Immersion to Inform Classroom Practice
As part of the fellowship, these teachers will participate in immersive summer externships across various industries vital to North Carolina’s economy. These immersions in energy, agriculture, tourism, scientific research, and high-tech manufacturing will allow the teachers to observe workplace practices and gather insights to inform their teaching.
