Service-Learning Fellows applications due March 20

The Office of Service-Learning is now accepting applications for the 2017-18 Service-Learning Fellows program.

Applications are due Monday, March 20. This year-long faculty development program allows participants to explore best practices in service-learning and community engagement while developing new service-learning courses or considering ways to integrate service-learning into existing courses or programs. Download the application materials, along with examples of previous fellows projects.

Up to eight faculty members will be selected and will receive a $2,500 faculty development award. All permanent, full-time UGA faculty members (academic tenure track, academic professionals, public service faculty, clinical faculty, and lecturers) with an interest in service-learning are eligible. Previous experience with service-learning is not required. Service-learning is an experiential learning method that provides opportunities for students to apply and more fully understand academic knowledge through projects that address genuine community needs.
