Brad Love is the PTF Ambassador to the Academy of Distinguished Teachers, and was the 2018 Chair of the Provost's Teaching Fellows.
Brad's PTF initiative assesses several career-skills activities targeted at preparing students for life after their baccalaureate degrees. In partnership with experts in the Vick Center for Strategic Advising and the College of Education, the project gathers data over two years to study the effectiveness of ongoing efforts to build personal development skills relevant to thriving post-graduation, such as self-awareness, positive coping, and self-efficacy, among others. Phase 1 focused on project and measurement design. The ongoing Phase 2 involves testing the survey and interview tools before the ongoing data collection kicks off.

Cohort: 2015
Fellow: Brad Love
The project is a longitudinal partnership with the Vick Center for Strategic Advising, College of Education faculty, Project 2021 staff, and other Longhorns to measure existing attempts to teach useful skills such as emotional intelligence so that students can make constructive decisions while at UT and then be prepared for the significant life transition that is one’s first career post-graduation. The key activities include semesterly surveys and interviews with students using Vick Center services such as in-person visits and online modules.
