The Office of Service-Learning is accepting nominations for the Service-Learning Teaching Excellence Award and the Service-Learning Research Excellence Award. These two new awards recognize UGA faculty for excellence in developing, implementing and sustaining academic service-learning opportunities for UGA students in domestic and/or international settings and for excellence in research related to or resulting from academic service-learning. All full-time, permanent UGA faculty members in any career track are eligible for nomination. Award recipients receive a $2,500 faculty development award.
Nominations are due by March 9 and will be accepted from deans and department heads, faculty colleagues or as self-nominations. Award nomination guidelines are available at www.servicelearning.uga.edu. For questions, contact Shannon Wilder, director of the Office of Service-Learning at (706) 542-0535 or swilder@uga.edu.
