SUPPORTING SL/CE COURSES
Here are some of the ways we support formal designated Service Learning (SL), Service Engagement (SE), & Community Engagement (CE):
- New Course Designation
- Individual consultation & customized templates streamline your application
- SL/CE SLOs based on National Association of Colleges and Employers
- SLO assessment instruction templates
- Suggested Syllabus inserts
- Coffee & Conversation Program
OSL/CE in partnership with SODEXO will pay for any instructor in any SL/CE course to invite 1-4 of their students to coffee @ PerkUP! or lunch at the cafeteria. See the related blog post. - Course Support funds
OSL/CE has limited funds to support SL/CE related course expenses in (supplies, printing, transportation, etc.). Funding for Service Learning courses may be approved up to $25/student and up to $10/student for Service Engagement courses. - Service Awards
Curtailed due to COVID. We offered only one award in 2021 & will do the same in 2022. We hope to return to our full slate of award in 2023 - SL/CE Course Reallocation
We offered one award in 2021 and hope to find funding for future awards
