Kudos: Two assistant professors selected as 2019-2020 Service-Learning Fellows
The University of Georgia’s Office of Service-Learning recently selected Collette Chapman-Hilliard and Jill Stefaniak, both assistant professors in the College of Education, to participate in the 2019-2020 Service-Learning Fellows program.
Chapman-Hilliard, who works in the Department of Counseling and Human Development Services, will create a service-learning toolkit and identify how best to connect academic content with service-learning objectives for students. Broadly, she aims to incorporate her research—which focuses on social justice topics and mental health outcomes—into the final project.
Stefaniak, who works in the Department of Career and Information Studies, will conduct a service-learning project in her graduate e-learning and assessment course, which trains instructional design students on how to evaluate e-learning and digital technologies. Students will engage in community service projects with organizations that focus on the needs and experiences of marginalized communities.
