The Office of Civic Engagement offers two programs to support TU faculty developing and teaching service-learning courses:
Service-Learning Faculty Fellows – Now Accepting Proposals for 13-14
The Service-Learning Faculty Fellows program provides support for faculty interested in creating a new service-learning course or incorporating a significant service-learning component into an existing course. Faculty in this program attend monthly workshops where they learn best practices for developing, teaching, evaluating, and sustaining service-learning courses. Faculty participants receive a $1,000 stipend. Proposals are due April 30th, 2013.
Service-Learning Grant
Faculty are eligible to apply for grant money to support service-learning course activities. Funds should be used to allow a professor to “take a course to the next level” in regard to service-learning and permit the class to engage in relevant activities it would otherwise be unable to complete. Applications for the service-learning grant are accepted on an ongoing basis, until funding for the fiscal year has been depleted.
For additional information about these programs, including proposal and application guidelines, go to http://www.towson.edu/studentaffairs/civicengagement/serviceLearning/faculty/index.asp or contact Katelyn Victor at kvictor@towson.edu or 4-2806.
