AS-L Faculty Fellows Winter 2019 Seminar

We can begin by doing small things at the local level, like planting community gardens or looking out for our neighbors. That is how change takes place in living systems, not from above but from within, from many local actions occurring simultaneously.

Community-Based Learning &

Academic Service-Learning Faculty Fellow Seminar

Fall 2024
What is Community Based-Learning?

Community-Based Learning (CBL) is a teaching and learning strategy that works to integrate community through mutual collaboration into courses and/or curriculum in order to enhance student learning and increase community capacity.

If accepted, faculty fellows are required to:
- Attend a weekly 1.5 to 2-hour semester-long seminar of sharing, exploring, and learning about academic service-learning (AS-L) & community engagement with other faculty members. Note: This may change depending on faculty availability and adjustments. Once accepted, we will follow up with all fellows to determine what the best schedule may be.
- Develop a course or curriculum enhancement, and/or creative/scholarly initiative with students, which integrates community-based learning
- Offer a course/curriculum integration within a year of the fellowship.
Accepted Faculty Fellows will receive a one course release or a stipend for the Fall 2024 semester.

What do we provide?

Engage@EMU's Office of Academic Service-Learning (AS-L) provides support for faculty to plan, implement, and assess academic service-learning and community-based learning in their courses and/or curriculum. The Office of AS-L also helps to identify and/or provide funding opportunities for faculty research and creative activity in community engagement, engaged scholarship, and Academic Service-Learning.
