Inspired by collaborative models from Bryn Mawr and Haverford Colleges, the program challenges traditional hierarchies by positioning students and faculty as equal pedagogical partners. Through qualitative analysis of three case examples, the authors explored how the DUET Program enhances classroom engagement, promotes participation equity, and improves instructional practices. Findings reveal that the iterative partnership process enables sustainable pedagogical innovation through collaborative inquiry and mutual learning. The analysis demonstrates that while student-faculty partnerships offer valuable pathways for pedagogical development, sustaining such initiatives requires ongoing institutional commitment, dedicated resources, and integration with faculty development infrastructures.Keyphrases: higher education, pedagogical innovation, student faculty partnerships In: Wesley Collins, Anthony Perrenoud and John Posillico (editors).
