Community Engaged Learning Faculty Fellows

The Community Engaged Learning Faculty Fellows program aims to support individuals who recognize the value of student learning experiences outside the classroom that address issues of public concern and are eager to incorporate community-framed problems and questions into existing courses and new curricular experiences. While community engaged learning courses may take different forms, they all address a specific need, problem or common concern, include collaboration with a community partner, and connect this collaboration with course content and disciplinary perspectives

This initiative was established to recognize UC Davis faculty and support research that will have a public impact – meaning it is useful to, and developed in concert with, diverse constituents beyond the university. These types of collaborations with non-university partners allow our faculty and researchers to see the transformative effects on their research: public scholarship not only improves research questions and methods but also deepens their relationships with community partners.
