The Intercollegiate Studies Institute Faculty Community offers an unparalleled network for scholars dedicated to the pursuit of truth and the principles of a free society.
This vibrant community brings together like-minded educators who are passionate about classical education, conservative thought, and the enduring values of Western civilization. Members benefit from intellectual camaraderie, collaborative research opportunities, and access to exclusive events, including conferences, seminars, and lectures featuring prominent thinkers.
ISI’s Faculty Community fosters a supportive environment where professors can share ideas, discuss challenges, and mentor the next generation of leaders. By connecting scholars across disciplines and institutions, ISI strengthens the impact of conservative thought in academia and ensures that the timeless ideals of liberty and responsibility continue to inspire future generations.
Engage Conservative Thought
We understand that professors are struggling in the American university system.
Most students are disinterested, unmotivated, and unprepared for class. This brings down the quality of education for everyone, especially for students who are eager to learn from you. Now, imagine what it would be like to teach a seminar to students who are hungry to learn on something you’re deeply passionate about.
ISI Forum grants are on-campus seminars that make this sort of learning experience possible.
Mentor Outstanding Students
We understand that teaching is a calling. But we also understand how frustrating it is when so many students aren’t engaged or care only about their grades.
Faculty who mentor ISI students frequently tell us they feel rejuvenated. They remember why they got into teaching in the first place once they engage with ISI students—young people hungry to study the conservative intellectual tradition and the foundations of freedom.
Join the ISI community to discover how you can work with such outstanding students.
Connect With Like-Minded Faculty
ISI faculty enjoy connecting with fellow like-minded faculty from other schools.
Join one of America’s largest networks of conservative faculty. Seek professional advice from mentors. Trade notes on syllabi and teaching resources. Or simply get together with peers who share your worldview.
