Service-Learning Faculty Fellows Wanted
Six $500 stipends are available for the professional development of faculty interested in offering service-learning courses in the 2014--15 academic year. The purpose of the faculty fellows program is to encourage faculty to engage in this high-impact pedagogy, offer training and support to new or junior faculty before and during the course, and encourage the exchange of research and ideas about service-learning on a local and state level.
A series of instructional talks about service learning will be offered to participants in spring 2015. Selected individuals will be required to attend this short course as they prepare to implement their service-learning courses. Service-learning faculty fellows are also expected to present a poster on their experiences at an Indiana Campus Compact event and at an on-campus service-learning event the following academic year. Fellows will receive a stipend of $500 for their efforts
To apply for the fellows program and the $500 stipend, send a one-page narrative of your service-learning course idea and a list of potential community partners to Deb Barrick at barrickd@ipfw.edu or 481-5471. The application deadline is Dec. 10, 2014. |
