Through the Civic Engagement Faculty Fellows program, the Office of Civic Engagement prepares Rutgers–Camden faculty members to design and implement high-quality Engaged Civic Learning courses.
Rutgers University–Camden is open and operating. The spring semester combines a majority of remotely delivered instruction with a limited number of face-to-face classes. In-person events are canceled until further notice. Use the My Campus Pass app before coming to campus and remember the three Ws: Watch Your Distance, Wash Your Hands, Wear Your Face Covering.
Faculty Fellows Program
Please contact Nyeema Watson: ncwatson@camden.rutgers.edu.
The core of the program is a two-day institute in which Fellows learn about the pedagogy of engagement and begin designing or redesigning courses. Two follow-up sessions are conducted in the spring semester to review syllabi and plan for implementation of Engaged Civic Learning courses.
Participation and Eligibility
The program is open to faculty in all career tracks, including tenure track, academic professionals, outreach faculty, clinical faculty, and more. Participation is encouraged by all faculty members, from those with little or no prior experience in engaged civic learning to those with experience who may want to take a leadership role in advancing civic engagement initiatives on campus.
Application
Applications for the 2020 cohort of faculty fellows are not yet available. Please check back at a later date.
Faculty Support Services
The Office of Civic Engagement offers a number of services to support faculty in their efforts to engage communities through teaching, research, and service activities. Our staff assists faculty in the development, implementation, and assessment of engaged civic teaching and research and provides opportunities for recognition of these efforts through ECL course designation, conference participation and publication, and through the annual Chancellor’s Awards for Civic Engagement.
The Engaged Civic Learning Course Design Workbook, a resource developed by the Office of Civic Engagement for Faculty Fellows training, is available as part of the AAC&U’s Liberal Education and America’s Promise Campus Toolkit.
