Applications are now being accepted for the LSU Service-Learning Faculty Scholars Program, which offers $2,000 stipends to full-time LSU faculty members interested in experiential education and hands-on learning that benefits the community. Applications are due September 9. download application
The Center for Community Engagement, Learning, and Leadership (CCELL) offers the Faculty
Scholars Program to encourage the development of service-learning curricula that will
have a lasting impact on instruction, promote the institutionalization of service-learning
courses in every department, and advance the objectives of the LSU Flagship Agenda.
Full-time faculty at the rank of instructor or above are eligible. Faculty in all
disciplines, especially those from disciplines which currently do not offer service-learning,
are encouraged to apply. Scholars with varying degrees of familiarity and experience
with service-learning are welcomed.
Faculty who are selected for the program are expected to attend a weekly seminar for ten weeks in Fall 2013 during which they, along with other Scholars, plan and discuss course design, civic responsibilities of universities, partnerships, liability, assessment, and reflection.
Scholars will develop a service-learning course syllabus for implementation during
the spring 2014, summer 2014, fall 2014, or spring 2015 semester. Scholars may choose
to incorporate service-learning into a previously designed course or to develop a
new course that includes service-learning.
Each Scholar will receive $1,000 after completing the seminar and the remaining $1,000
after submitting a short report at the conclusion of the semester in which the service-learning
class is taught.
