UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Student Engagement Network is seeking proposals for a new cohort of faculty fellows who wish to spend a portion of their time during the 2018-19 academic year developing scholarship, creative accomplishment, and/or programming involving engaged scholarship.
The Faculty Academy, which accepts proposals annually, is intended to deepen the University-wide discourse, practice, and recognition of engaged scholarship at Penn State.
This year, five faculty fellows will be selected to serve a one-year appointment to focus on developing models of engagement in courses and fieldwork.
Selection will be based on: quality and relevance of past engaged scholarship activities; desire to deepen the campus-wide discourse, practice, and recognition of engaged scholarship at Penn State; quality and relevance of proposal for future engaged scholarship activities; capacity to disseminate information about the project to broader campus community; and capacity to contribute as a campus leader or mentor in engaged scholarship.
