We are looking for six new SL Faculty Fellows for 2023.

Faculty who apply can be new to Service Learning or have done it for years. This program will support the development of courses in the new Common Curriculum and any Life Transformational Education a faculty may want to pursue. 1) Submit your Fellows Application by Friday, January 6, 2023. 2) If you are accepted, be sure to anticipate orientation for Friday, January 27, 2023.* Faculty Orientation Date (IN-PERSON) (*required attendance - if you want to apply but this date does not work for you, please email julia.yakovich@uconn.edu) “Service Learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities.” The Carnegie Foundation Share the word and please contact Julia Yakovich with any questions at julia.yakovich@uconn.edu. |
