Spring 2024 Workshops
March 7th, 2-3:30 PM, LIB 242: Teaching with Community Service Learning: Why and how?
CEETL & ICCE hosted a "Pints & PIE workshop," where faculty learned about pedagogies of inclusive excellence (PIE) in the classroom with pints of ice cream and warm pies. This workshop explored the transformative potential of experiential learning, emphasizing its capacity to foster community beyond traditional classroom boundaries. Faculty curious about community-engaged teaching and learning and faculty who want to jump-start their service-learning post-pandemic joined us at this workshop. Facilitator: Pavlina Latkova, Professor, RPT
Micro-Course
In collaboration, the Center for Equity and Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CEETL) and ICCE, invite all faculty to join our upcoming micro-course called “Incorporating Service Learning for Online Teaching.” This fully online, self-paced, and asynchronous course offers resources, activities, and discussions to help faculty integrate the benefits of service-learning and effective classroom teaching as you create positive changes in students, community organizations, and your department.
This course is offered as an open resource.
This following micro-course was designed to be completed in less than five hours and focus on one topic. Micro-courses that are open resources cannot be completed for a stipend from CEETL. Stipends for faculty completion of CEETL course offerings were made possible through one-time emergency federal funding (CARES and HEERF) for COVID-19. This funding source has now concluded as of 4/25/22. CEETL courses remain available as open resources for the campus community, though stipends for completion will no longer be awarded.

University Retreat: High-Impact Practices Workshop/Panel
January 19, 2022
Evidence suggests that community service learning (CSL) has a host of potential benefits for students: critical thinking, problem analysis, skill application, graduation rates, and more are all suggested to be improved by service-learning (Byler et al. 2001). What's more, service-learning also benefits community organizations through access to university resources, student volunteerism, prospective hiring, and building awareness about issues or causes (ibid). How, then, can faculty best realize the potential of CSL in their courses?
During this insightful discussion facilitated by Dr. Nina Roberts, Faculty Director of Community Engaged Scholarship & Learning, we heard from three panelists with extensive CSL experience: Dr. Kevin Kelly, Lecturer Faculty in the Department of Equity, Leadership Studies & Instructional Technologies; Dr. Leticia Márquez-Magaña, Professor in Department of Biology; and Alyssa Gimenez, MS Student in Cell/Molecular Biology. The discussion covered topics such as best ways to engage/involve students in the CSL process; building community partnerships; present and future opportunities and barriers; strategies for student success through CSL; and more.
Thank you to our panelists, and thank you to all who attended this workshop/panel. To learn more about CSL, broadly, click here.
