CU Engage will provide grants of up to $4000 for Faculty Fellows in Community-Based Learning. This program provides resources and support for faculty to design a new course or modify an existing course to include a community-based learning component. To learn more, download the request for proposals. The application deadline is Feb. 1.
The aim of the Faculty Fellows Program is to expand, deepen, and institutionalize community-based learning at CU-Boulder. Fellows participate in a Community-Based Learning Institute during the Maymester that provides a dedicated process and structure to develop syllabi, assignments, and other tools needed to successfully implement a community-based learning course.
The fellows are sponsored by CU Engage: the Center for Community Based Learning and Research, a new interdisciplinary center based in the School of Education and serving the Boulder campus. CU Engage supports programs and initiatives that work collaboratively with community groups to address complex public challenges through research, creative work, and civic engagement. The center will develop and sustain equity-oriented partnerships, organize opportunities for students to learn alongside community members, and support faculty and students to develop ethical and rigorous participatory research methods.
