Office of Service-Learning invites applications for the semester-long spring 2024 Service-Learning Fellows Program

The Office of Service-Learning is seeking applications for its spring 2024 Service-Learning Fellows Program.

Faculty (including nontenure track), lecturers, staff and graduate student instructors from the West Lafayette, Purdue Northwest, Purdue Fort Wayne, and Purdue Global campuses seeking to implement service-learning pedagogy under today’s shifting circumstances in the 2023-24 or 2024-25 academic year are encouraged to apply. Up to $2,000 is available per project ($1,000 instructor discretionary funds and $1,000 community partner project). Applicants without community partners will be matched with one upon acceptance into the program.

The program is designed to foster the development and institutionalization of service-learning courses and curricula, projects, and scholarly pursuits at Purdue, as well as strengthen collaborative efforts and outcomes in communities. Together, instructors in partnership with service-learning staff will collaboratively develop the skills and tools needed to deliver effective, mutually beneficial service-learning courses.

Applications must be submitted online before 5 p.m. Nov. 17. A full program call and required departmental support letter can be found here. Inquiries may be directed to Lindsey Payne, director of service-learning, at paynel@purdue.edu.
