Kudos: Two faculty members selected as UGA Service-Learning Fellows
Todd Dinkleman, an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies Education, and Jamon Flowers, a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Lifelong Education, Administration, and Policy, were recently selected as 2021-22 UGA Service-Learning Fellows.
Established in 2006, the Service-Learning Fellows program provides faculty members from a range of disciplines an opportunity to integrate academic service-learning into their teaching. In addition to receiving an award of up to $2,500, the Fellows will meet regularly throughout the academic year for informative seminars that will help them develop their own proposed service-learning projects.
Dinkleman will create a project that centers discussion and dialogue as key features of meaningful civic education, while Flowers will use the fellowship to learn how to create a service-learning project that is grounded by the request of a community or organization and principled in reciprocal learning.
