Seven faculty members have been named Service-Learning Fellows for the 2009-2010 academic year by the Office of Service-Learning.
Now entering its fifth year, the Service-Learning Fellows program provides an opportunity for faculty members from a range of disciplines to develop, implement and integrate service-learning into their professional practice.
“Academic service-learning integrates organized service activities that meet community-identified needs into academic courses as a way to enhance understanding of course content, teach civic responsibility and provide mutual benefit to the community,” said Shannon O. Wilder, director of service-learning.
Fellows, who meet regularly throughout the academic year, also receive an award of up to $2,500 to develop a proposed service-learning project.
The 2009-2010 Service-Learning Fellows are Elizabeth Davis, English; Joseph Goetz, housing and consumer economics; Tina M. Harris, speech communication; Roger Harrison, Archway Partnership Project; Cecilia Herles, Institute for Women’s Studies; Megan Lee, textiles, merchandising and interiors; and Hyangsoon
