Applications invited for Service-Learning Fellows Program
The Office of Engagement is seeking applications from faculty and graduate students for its Spring 2023 Service-Learning Fellows Program.
Being a Service-Learning Fellow
Pam Sari, director of the Asian American and Asian Resource and Cultural Center, strengthened her understanding of service-learning and its application in learning environments by participating in the Spring 2022 session of the Service-Learning Fellows Program. Read about Sari's experience in this "Purdue Pursuits" feature.The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and nationwide attention to systemic injustices have continued to shape the nature of service-learning courses and partnerships at Purdue and across the nation. In the spring 2023 semester, instructors in partnership with service-learning staff and community partners will explore where service-learning fits into this everchanging narrative and collaboratively develop the skills and tools needed to deliver effective, mutually beneficial service-learning courses.
Faculty (including non-tenure track), lecturers and staff and graduate student instructors from the West Lafayette, Purdue Northwest and Purdue Fort Wayne campuses 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. Nov. 11 ET. The Spring 2023 callout and required departmental support letter are available online. Inquiries may be directed to Lindsey Payne, director of service-learning in the Office of Engagement, at paynel@purdue.edu.
