Service-Learning Fellow Nominations Now Open

Nominations/applications are sought for the seventh annual Service-Learning Fellow
recognition. The award recognizes engaged educators who practice service-learning
in an effective manner. If you use service-learning as a way to enhance the education
experience in any of your classes, you are eligible and encouraged to apply.
Previous honorees will be considered if their application relates to new service-learning
classes and endeavors.

• Up to five (5) Service-Learning Fellows each will be awarded $750 and be
honored at a university-wide Thank You and Recognition Event on Wednesday,
April 17, at 4 pm in the Starlight Room of the Sharwan Smith Center.

• Please submit applications electronically to the Earl Mulderink, Director of
Community Engagement, mulderink@suu.edu. Questions can be directed to
Earl by email or phone, 865-8341.

• The online applications must be submitted by Friday, March 29, 2013,
at 5 pm. Notification of awardees will be in early April.

Reminder: Service-Learning is a curricular-based educational experience in which students participate in organized activities that meet community needs and then reflect upon their experiences, tying them to course content, a broader appreciation of their discipline, and an enhanced sense of civic responsibility. Completed applications must include a course syllabus that includes a service-learning component.
