Dear C-EL Faculty,
We've compiled a handbook of COVID-safe and remote learning resources for community engagement that we hope you'll find useful. Please access it here. This is a living document, so if you have additional resources that you think would make a good addition to this handbook, please email andrew.thomas@rochester.edu.
Deadline and single application portal for course development grants:
AS&E offers several grants to help faculty develop or significantly revise courses, including the Teaching Innovation Grant, the Community-Engaged Course Development Grant, and the Humanities For Life Grant. To streamline the proposal, evaluation, selection, and funding process, AS&E has moved to a common proposal cycle for all course development grant programs. Proposals for projects to be implemented during the 2021–22 academic year are due Friday, November 16. Learn more about each grant opportunity and submit a proposal through the funding portal.
Community-Engaged Course Operation Grants request for proposals: The Rochester Center for Community Leadership is accepting proposals for its Course Operation Grants for faculty who plan to offer courses in the spring semester that combine academic learning and community engagement opportunities for undergraduate students in AS&E. Proposals are due December 1. Email andrew.thomas@rocheester.edu with questions.
Lastly, we want to congratulate Dr. Tanya Bakhmetyeva on being named one of the recipients of this year's Georgen Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching! A virtual ceremony will take place October 23 to recognize her work.
Yours in solidarity,
The C-EL Team
