Faculty Fellows for Community-Engaged Pedagogy

About Our Faculty Fellows for Community-Engaged Pedagogy

The Faculty Fellows for Community-Engaged Pedagogy meet throughout the academic year in a learning community that seeks to:

  • Improve student learning and reinvigorate teaching through innovative pedagogies.
  • Enhance a supportive teaching community through shared faculty discussion.
  • Encourage deep thinking on the scholarship of teaching and learning.

Over the course of 6 dinner meetings, fellows will engage in discussion of scholarship and best practices in the field of community engagement. Additionally, Fellows will engage in a half day of community service locally. Each fellow will develop a community-engaged course or adapt an existing course to include a community-engaged pedagogy. Consulting with current faculty who teach CENG courses and peers in the group, fellows will workshop syllabi and assignments.

About our Faculty Fellows for Community-Engaged Scholarship

The Faculty Fellows for Community-Engaged Scholarship spend an academic year designing or further developing a research project that has real impact in local or global communities. In the 2022-23 academic year, the Fellows program launched with a workshop, "Community-Engaged Scholarship: Strategies to Create, Define, Publish and Succeed" presented by Diane Doberneck, Ph.D.

The year-long program included meetings in smaller working groups, publication coaching sessions, research agenda setting, and a second workshop with visiting scholar Patrick Reyes.

About Our Faculty Fellows for Community-Engaged Immersion

This mini-fellows program, intended to introduce faculty to local issues in the Green Bay area and to cultivate relationships with area community partners, is currently a 1-2 day immersion. Fellows work at local nonprofits and then return to campus to examine pressing issues under the guidance of a team of local community partners.

This program may be developed into a full year fellows program in future offerings.
