Call for Proposals—Teaching and Learning Commons Changemaker Fellows for Community Engaged Learning

We are pleased to announce the call for proposals for The Teaching and Learning Commons Changemaker Faculty Fellows Program in Community Engaged Learning.

Community Engaged Learning

As an Ashoka U-designated Changemaker Campus, UC San Diego recognizes the value of community engaged learning in developing students and faculty as leaders in social innovation and changemaking. The Community Engaged Learning (CEL) Faculty Fellows program is a collaboration between the Teaching and Learning Commons Engaged Teaching and Experiential Learning Hubs, with support from the Changemaker Institute and Faculty Leadership and Development. 

The purpose of this Fellowship is to support faculty who integrate, or would like to integrate, CEL into their teaching, research, and public service at UC San Diego, and serve as campus leaders in CEL pedagogy and community engagement. The Fellowship brings faculty together as co-learners to enhance existing or develop new CEL courses. Proposed projects may focus on:
  • Integration of CEL into a new or existing course;
  • Development of assessment tools or strategies for measuring the impact of CEL courses on undergraduate learning outcomes, instructors, or the community; or
  • Community-based course research projects.
The program is currently open to all full-time UC San Diego faculty members, including continuing lecturers, with an interest in CEL. We encourage individual faculty and interdisciplinary teams to apply for the Fellowship. Selected faculty are awarded up to $10,000 to use toward their project or related professional development opportunities. Please visit the website for complete program and application details.

Questions regarding the CEL fellowship should be directed to Tricia Taylor Oliveira, Academic Internship Program Director, Teaching and Learning Commons, ttaylor@ucsd.edu.

Selected fellows are expected to actively engage with the learning community through participation and attendance in a retreat, regular meetings, and implementation of a project. 

Applications will be accepted through March 10, 2023. Fellows will be selected and notified by March 30, 2023.
