Faculty opportunity: 2010 Selkregg Community Engagement and Service Learning Award has a Feb. 26 deadline

DEADLINE: Friday, Feb. 26, 5 p.m.

The Selkregg Community Engagement & Service Learning Award ($5,000) supports faculty to develop community-based research, creative activity and course-based service-learning projects. The award seeks to encourage, reward and inspire faculty at UAA to creatively engage their students in learning and research that equally benefits students and the community at large.

Purposes of the award are to recognize community engagement projects with significant discipline-based scholarship, community partnership and student leadership development. The proposed projects should ultimately aim to improve the quality of life for Alaska residents and develop ethical values, civic leadership, democracy, and social justice on campus and in the community.
