Service-learning incorporates community work into the curriculum, giving students real-world learning experiences that enhance their academic learning while providing a tangible benefit for the community. Iowa State University is partnering with the Regents Institutions to offer an Engaged Faculty Institute on Service-Learning with support from Iowa Campus Compact. The in-depth institute focuses on developing community engagement skills and practices, including partnership, assessment, and reflection. You will work alongside community partners to co-create a course and/or a research project. The Engaged Faculty Institute is designed for those interested in developing a service-learning project or improving an existing project.

The Institute is open to all faculty: tenured, tenure-track, term, and staff with teaching responsibilities.

Selection criteria include:

• Representation across campus to be inclusive of as many colleges, departments, and majors as possible
• Ability to match a faculty member and their project to an agency/community partner

The Engaged Faculty Institute on Service-Learning will be held: 2021 dates to be determined.
