WNYSL Sponsorship
The Service-Learning Faculty Fellows Program is an initiative of the Western New York Service-Learning Coalition (WNYSLC) and the Civic and Community Engagement Office. Buffalo State is a member of the WNYSLC, which is a consortium of local colleges, universities, and community organizations that are committed to sharing resources, knowledge, and practices related to service-learning in an effort to strengthen campus-community partnerships and promote student engagement in the community.
Fellowship Purpose
Service-Learning Faculty Fellows will acquire an in-depth understanding of community engagement pedagogy during this two-day training program facilitated by nationally recognized experts. A series of workshop opportunities will support faculty through the process of converting an existing course or creating a new service-learning course.
Eligibility
Fellowships are open to community partners in the WNY area and all faculty and staff from any department at a WNYSLC member institution, which includes Buffalo State.
