What is ACE Fellows?
Through the ACE Fellowship Program, the Teaching and Learning Center
will provide support for selected faculty fellows who are interested
in learning more about incorporating service-learning into courses.
In addition to providing teaching development for faculty, the ACE Fellowship
Program will increase excitement and enthusiasm toward community engagement
and service throughout campus.
Now in its eleventh year, the Academic and Community Engagement Fellowship Program (ACE Fellows) is a collaborative effort among the Teaching and Learning Center, the Dean's Office, the Provost's Office, and the Pro Humanitate Center. It is
an initiative linking the University's commitment to academic excellence
and service to humanity. At its core, this program seeks to provide
opportunities and incentives for faculty fellows to explore and implement
service-learning into existing courses or first year seminars. Service-learning
as a vehicle for instruction and exploration encourages civic development,
multicultural understanding, leadership, ethical decision making,
and critical thinking.
Mission:
- To unite the curriculum and the Pro Humanitate motto
- To support and encourage the application of knowledge to the betterment
of humanity
- To provide resources and services for faculty which enhance teaching
and enrich learning
