- Build individual and collective knowledge of community-engaged teaching and learning
- Strengthen campus capacity for high-impact community-engaged teaching and learning
Community Engagement and Social Justice (CE&SJ) Faculty Fellows
The CE&SJ program is designed for faculty who seek to deepen their service-learning teaching and practice by pushing their thinking about social justice and, at the same time, create or refine a course that will allow students to engage with community issues through a social justice orientation, so they begin to see themselves as social change leaders and community advocates. For more information, please contact Pilar Pacheco or Jules Balén.

The purpose will be to help new faculty to design and implement high-quality service-learning courses. For more information, please contact Pilar Pacheco or Jules Balén.
