Description
The DELTA Signature Course Fellowship, administered by the Institute for Ethics and the Common Good at the University of Notre Dame, supports new undergraduate courses exploring how AI and emerging technologies shape human flourishing. Courses should make student transformation central, helping students grapple with fundamental questions of meaning and purpose. They must also contribute to institutional goals and connect course themes with audiences beyond the university.
DELTA stands for Dignity, Embodiment, Love, Transcendence, and Agency. Rooted in Christian values, the framework looks beyond safety and privacy toward a fuller vision of flourishing in a technological world. The fellowship welcomes varied disciplinary approaches and moral traditions. Support includes course development, collaboration with undergraduate interns, institutional collaboration, public engagement, and evaluation to improve future course iterations.
