Applications are now available for Mississippi State University's 2022-2023 Community-Engaged Learning (CEL) Fellows program. The CEL Fellows program supports instructional faculty and staff in integrating community-engaged learning into their formal or non-formal teaching. Sponsored by the Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President and the Center for Community-Engaged Learning, CEL Fellows learn community-engaged learning theory, course design and pedagogy. Community-engaged learning is a high impact educational practice that improves student engagement, learning and development, social responsibility, and active citizenship.            

The CEL Fellows program seminar will meet in May 2022. Participants receive a $1,000 course or research development award, peer support and one-on-one assistance to design a new community-engaged learning course or modify an existing course. Program guidelines and an application can be obtained by emailing ccel@msstate.edu with submissions due by February 25, 2022.
