Center for Community Engagement & Service Learning: Faculty

The Faculty Committee on Service Learning

The Faculty Service Learning Committee oversees the academic and curricular components of service-learning courses on the undergraduate and graduate level.

The Service Learning Task Force members were originally selected in consultation with the provost and deans. In order to insure a smooth transition and implementation of the academic approval process, faculty on the Task Force, if available, will serve on the Service Learning Committee. Replacements will be selected in consultation with the deans. In the initial stage, faculty on the Service Learning Committee will represent the undergraduate divisions, with several members also representing graduate areas in International Studies, NSM, AHSS and DCB. If there is sufficient interest on the part of other graduate units, and the Graduate Council approves the process, the committee will expand to insure adequate representations.

Committee members will be invited to serve a one or two-year term. The Director of the Center for Community Engagement and Service Learning is a voting member and serves as co-chair with the faculty member selected by the committee members. Faculty members serve a minimum of two years. In addition to setting up guidelines and approving courses, the committee members advocate for and support the mission and goals of service learning.

The Faculty Service Learning Committee will collaborate with the Cherrington Global Scholars Faculty Committee to develop guidelines and to approve any quarter or semester-length international service learning programs developed at DU or offered by an outside organization or university. It is proposed that the ISL Coordinator be a permanent (ex officio) member of the Faculty Committee on Service Learning for international course proposals.
