Community Engagement Faculty Institute: Application 2015 |
Welcome
Welcome to the application for the Center for Social Concerns Community Engagement Faculty Institute, May 27, 28, and 29, 2015.
Designed for all who want to deepen their knowledge, skills, and passion for community-based teaching and research, this three-day faculty institute is itself a model of engaged learning, with a mix of lectures by faculty and community experts on the theory and practice of community engagement along with travel into the local community to learn with community partners who address a range of social concerns, such as poverty, healthcare, and education. Community partner connections and institute curriculum will be tailored to the learning objectives and interests expressed by the emergent cohort.
New in 2015, we are encouraging departments to send teams of at least three faculty members to the Faculty Institute. Ideally, teams would include tenured faculty, junior faculty, special professional faculty, and graduate students, if possible, so that ideas and projects can be developed and sustained internally. Variations are welcome, including inter-departmental teams that share common interests. Teams need not be fully fixed at time of application.
Agenda and details of the 2014 Institute are available at http://blogs.nd.edu/community-engagement-faculty-institute/.
Please apply by Friday, February 27, 2015. Space is limited. Applications will be reviewed by Center for Social Concerns faculty and affiliated Fellows on a rolling basis; those admitted into the Faculty Institute will be notified of acceptance by Friday, March 13, 2015. Participants selected will be recognized at the Rodney F. Ganey Awards Dinner in April and will receive, upon completion of the full Faculty Institute, $250 deposited to their research account to be applied toward community engagement research and teaching. Lunch will be provided each day.
If you have questions or want more information, don't hesitate to contact Dr. Connie Snyder Mick at cmick@nd.edu.
