​Community engaged teaching fellows

The Center for Civic Engagement has announced its 2019-20 Community Engaged Teaching Fellows. This year’s cohort of six faculty members will be guided in the design and implementation of effective community-engaged teaching and learning. The group will meet monthly to discern how academic service-learning courses and community-based scholarship can support their professional teaching and research goals.

• Candace Mulcahy, associate professor and chair; Teaching, Learning and Educational Leadership, College of Community and Public Affairs
• Lauren Dula, assistant professor of public administration, College of Community and Public Affairs
