2019-20 Service-Learning Fellows applications due March 20

The Office of Service-Learning is now accepting applications for the 2019-20 Service-Learning Fellows program. Applications are due Wednesday, March 20. This year-long faculty development program provides an opportunity for participating faculty members 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. Complete application materials, along with examples of previous Fellows projects, are available at on the Office of Service-Learning website.

Up to nine faculty members will be selected for participation 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.
