Faculty Fellows Program

UCA’s Service-Learning Faculty Fellows Program is a campus-wide initiative that includes commitments from the Provost’s Office and the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Academic Leadership. The Faculty Fellows Program provides faculty with 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.
