Civic Faculty Fellows
Request for Proposal (RFP)Program Description
Salt Lake Community College is an engaged campus. Our commitment to engagement is central to our mission, vision, and values. Community Engagement is an educational strategy: a way to advance the institutional goals of improving transfer preparation, increasing student completion, and achieving equity in student participation and completion. It is also a way to serve our community and deal with pressing social issues.
The Community-Engaged Learning Designation (CELD) program supports faculty and departments who engage in high-impact pedagogies such as community-engaged learning. The CELD program also functions on an larger level to create engaged departments/programs. The faculty fellows program is open to faculty who seek to make civic learning routine within their discipline and increase mutually beneficial community engagement.
The goals of the CELD civic faculty fellows program are to:
- Deeping or expanding your Engaged Department Plan (for existing Engaged Departments).
- Supporting efforts related to becoming an Engaged Department.
- Increasing Community-Engaged Learning Grant & Designation individual course designations in your department or across the college.
- Supports college-wide or Engaged Learning Office civic engagement efforts
