Applications invited for Service-Learning Fellows Program

The Office of Engagement is seeking applications from faculty and graduate students for its semesterlong Spring 2021 Service-Learning Fellows Program.

The COVID-19 pandemic has shifted courses and service opportunities to online platforms, and systemic racial injustice is gaining ever more nationwide attention. In the Spring 2021 semester, instructors in partnership with service-learning staff and community partners will explore where service-learning fits into this new narrative, collaboratively developing the skills and tools needed to deliver effective, mutually beneficial service-learning courses.

Faculty and graduate student instructors are encouraged to apply. Up to $3,000 is available per project ($2,000 instructor discretionary funds and $1,000 community partner project). Applicants without community partners will be matched with one upon acceptance into the program.

Applications must be submitted online by 5 p.m. Oct. 23. Inquiries may be directed to Lindsey Payne, director of service-learning in the Office of Engagement, at paynel@purdue.edu.
