Faculty Resources

The Center for Community Engagement (CCE), along with other University partners, has created an initiative for community-engaged learning to be a cornerstone of ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é students’ educations. CCE awards Course Operational Grants to help encourage faculty to participate in community-engaged learning and to support additional faculty who wish to add community-engaged learning to pre-existing course, new courses, or large community-engaged, learning-based events.

Below is a list of resources that may be useful if you are interested in community-engaged learning or if you are interested in having a community-engaged learning course, or portion to your course.
