Civic Engagement
Service-Learning Faculty
Fellows Program
The Service-Learning Faculty Fellows
program provides support for TU faculty interested in
creating a new service-learning course or incorporating a
significant service learning component into an existing course.
All TU faculty members in any discipline are eligible to apply.
Selected Faculty Fellows will be awarded a $1,000 stipend.
Service-Learning Faculty Fellows receive a small stipend
and meet on a monthly basis to develop and then implement
service-learning courses.
The Service-Learning Faculty Fellows
program is accepting faculty who are new to service-learning and
would like to learn how to incorporate service-learning into a
new or existing course. Faculty who are new to
service-learning will have an opportunity to learn from more
experienced faculty and will be expected to incorporate
service-learning. No experience
in teaching or creating a service-learning course is needed to
apply.
Interested faculty members are expected to propose a service-learning initiative that includes a case for the significance
and expected impact of the project in a broader context of civic
engagement and social responsibility. Applications will be
evaluated on how the service-learning project seeks to advance
course objectives, include meaningful student interaction with
the community and address real community needs. Application
guidelines can be found below.
There is currently a call for proposals for the period Fall
2009—Spring 2010. Awardees will be notified by Spring Commencement.
Please email proposals, with appropriate attachments, to Kate
Faris at
kfaris@towson.edu.
