UCA’s Service-Learning Faculty Fellows Program is a campus-wide initiative that includes commitments from the President’s and Provost’s offices, the Center for Teaching Excellence, the Division of Outreach and Community Engagement, and the academic colleges.
The Faculty Fellows Program provides faculty an in-depth professional development opportunity to learn how to successfully integrate service into their curricula and ultimately serve as advocates for service-learning at UCA.
What is the Service-Learning Faculty Fellows Institute?
- UCA’s Service-Learning Faculty Fellows Institute is an intensive teaching institute held during a summer term. It will be similar to a graduate seminar with readings, regular meetings, and work in the community related to service-learning development.
- The institute is designed to benefit faculty who wish to explore service-learning as a pedagogical tool in an intensive, in-depth manner, with the intent of implementing it into a specific academic course.
- It is an opportunity for faculty to discuss teaching, learning, and application of service-learning and civic engagement at UCA in an interdisciplinary manner connecting faculty from all colleges on campus.
- Faculty who participate in the institute receive a stipend of $500.
