Brief Description:

This program consists of faculty participants who are willing to examine together the phenomenon of service-learning in the academy. Opportunities to engage in four developmental seminars that will help faculty in the exploration of issues that surround service-learning will be provided. Faculty will share reflections, experience service opportunities together, and actively participate in understanding the needs of various communities so as to be informed and inform students and colleagues about service learning. An objective of the program is for faculty participants to create or revise courses that will include service learning as a core component of the class. Classes can be developed over the course of the seminars and any syllabi created will be submitted to the curriculum committee for course approval.

During each seminar, faculty will have opportunities to experience service learning firsthand with various communities, both locally and in the Dominican Republic. Active participation in this program will allow faculty to make informed and critically reflective choices regarding service opportunities for faculty students or for faculty own faculty awareness and scholarly development.
