Community Engaged Scholarship Faculty Grant Program
The Community Service Learning Program, a unit within the Institute for Civic and Community Engagement (ICCE), solicits applications each fall for the Community Engaged Scholarship Faculty Grant program. Funds for this scholarship program come from the California’s Call to Service Initiative to foster faculty Community Engaged Scholarship and to support the expansion of community service learning (CSL) courses. Awards are open to all part-time and full-time faculty members of all ranks. Faculty members on early retirement (FERP) and lecturers are not eligible. These $4,500 Faculty Curriculum Development Grants are designed to support courses not yet designated as CSL.
Since 2000, the CSL program has provided $348,906 to 111 faculty members.
Following a competitive grant application process, Faculty Awards for AY 11-12, were made to:
College of Education:
* Mina Kim, Elementary Education
* Pamela LePage, Special Education
College of Health and Human Services:
* Jocelyn Hermoso, Social Work
* Laurie Meschke, Child & Adolescent Development
* Nina Roberts, Recreation, Parks, and Tourism
Community Service Learning Awards
Each fall semester, the CSL program sends out a Call for Nominations for faculty who have exemplary CSL programs in the SF Bay Area community. One award of $1,000 will be granted to a faculty member for Outstanding Community Service Learning. Selection criteria includes exemplary practice in community-based teaching that furthers the goals of the CSL program. Funds will be sent to the Awardee's department and must be used during the spring semester.
