NSU Professor Selected as Inaugural Fellow in Library of Congress Initiative

Dr. Hui Fang Su, faculty member at Nova Southeastern University’s Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice, has been selected as an inaugural Fellow in the nationally distinguished Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) Transformative Teaching Initiative.

Out of a highly competitive pool of applicants, Dr. Su was chosen for this honor based on her exemplary commitment to innovative teaching practices. As a Fellow, Dr. Su will collaborate with a national cohort of educators and scholars to design and implement inquiry-based instruction using the Library of Congress’s extensive collection of primary source materials. The initiative includes virtual sessions led by education leaders from institutions such as Virginia Tech, the University of South Florida, and the National Council for History Education.

It culminates in an in-person residency at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., in July 2025. “This fellowship represents a significant national recognition of Dr. Su’s contributions to transformative education,” said Dr. Kimberly Durham, Dean of the College of Education and School of Criminal Justice. “Her selection not only brings prestige to our university, but also reaffirms our commitment to preparing educators who can lead change through inclusive and culturally responsive pedagogy.” Su will work alongside faculty from across the country to advance instructional strategies that promote student inquiry, critical thinking, and civic engagement, further reinforcing the Library of Congress’s mission to make its vast resources accessible and meaningful in K–12 and teacher education settings.
