    The Office of Outreach and Engagement is excited to bring back a building block of Service Learning (SL) here at the University—the Service Learning Faculty Fellows Program. We are looking for six new SL Faculty Fellows for 2023.  

     

    This will be a full year program (January 2023 to December of 2023) where faculty (all) who teach both graduate and undergraduate courses will learn and develop Service Learning in alignment with their teaching, research, and grant funding. 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.*
