Applications invited for fall 2022 Service-Learning Fellows Program

The Office of Engagement is seeking applications from faculty and graduate students for its Fall 2022 Service-Learning Fellows Program.

As schools steadily return to in-person instruction, the COVID-19 pandemic and nationwide attention to systemic racial injustice have continued to shape the nature of service-learning courses and partnerships at Purdue and across the nation. In the fall 2022 semester, instructors in partnership with service-learning staff and community partners will explore where service-learning fits into this ever-changing narrative and collaboratively develop the skills and tools needed to deliver effective, mutually beneficial service-learning courses.

Faculty (including non-tenure-track), lecturers and graduate student instructors seeking to implement service-learning pedagogy under today’s shifting circumstances in the 2022-23 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.

Applications must be submitted online by 5 p.m. ET April 15. Inquiries may be directed to Lindsey Payne, director of service-learning in the Office of Engagement, at paynel@purdue.edu.
