What?  The Faculty Institute is a two-day retreat. Cornell faculty members and program representatives from across campus, as well as outside experts, will facilitate sessions.

Who?  All Cornell tenured or tenure-track faculty are eligible to apply. Space is limited to 10 participants. The Institute is aimed at faculty who have not yet made community-engaged service learning a major focus of their teaching but are interested in gaining insights on how to accomplish this.

All participants will receive a $500 research stipend.  By accepting the stipend, you commit to prepare for the Institute by completing readings, attending all presentations, and actively participating in Institute workshops. 

Why?  Through readings and facilitated discussions, you will begin the process of transforming your courses to include engaged learning and civic engagement. You will construct and evaluate learning outcomes appropriate to service learning and discuss effective tools that encourage students in critical self-reflection.
