Description
The DELTA Signature Course Fellowship, administered by the University of Notre Dame’s Institute for Ethics and the Common Good, supports new undergraduate courses exploring how AI and emerging technologies shape human flourishing. Courses should help students grapple with meaning, purpose, truth, relationships, and human distinctiveness while becoming defining, formative experiences in their college education.
The program emphasizes student transformation, institutional collaboration, and public engagement beyond campus. Its DELTA framework—Dignity, Embodiment, Love, Transcendence, and Agency—is rooted in Christian values while welcoming varied disciplinary approaches and moral traditions. Fellows receive funding and support to design, build, launch, and improve their courses, including workshops, undergraduate intern collaboration, evaluation, and public communication.
