Hi Justin,
I am in charge of an EL program at the Univ. of Texas at Arlington as part of a campus-wide EL initiative. In it, I lead a faculty fellows program which teaches faculty how to incorporate one or more of the five designated EL activities into their courses - Leadership, Research, Career, Community Engagement, and Global.
Through monthly seminars, we highlight various departmental resources as guest speakers for them to collaborate with and possibly use within the course, such as services from the Career office to help students build a resume. We also discuss reflection, assessment, and other topics that are vital to the student experience.
There are anywhere from 10-20 fellows each academic year, and I have 5-6 faculty facilitators to help teach them. They have already gone through the program, and are hand-selected by me.
Together with a small, select group of faculty, we built the program starting in 2019, and each summer the facilitators and I reflect on it through observation and feedback from the fellows. Each cohort runs the academic year, fellows complete an application to participate, there are benchmarks and requirements, and departmental funds are paid to each fellow based on the deliverables.

I also direct the Center for Service Learning in which we have a cohort of faculty fellows in the fall. uta.edu/csl
Please let me know if you have any questions!
