Spring 2012: Student Awards for Community-Engaged Learning Projects
by Michelle Saport |
The Center for Community Engagement & Learning (CCEL) is accepting proposals for two community-engaged project awards for students. Application deadline for both awards is Friday, Nov. 30.
Dr. Alex Hills Engineering & Civic Engagement Award
UAA undergraduates in the School of Engineering are encouraged to apply for this $2,500
award to use their engineering knowledge and practice for the benefit of society.
The award recipient will conduct a community-engaged learning project that solves
engineering and technology-based problems in partnership with a local organization,
under the supervision of an engineering faculty member.
Second Bridge Scholarship Award
This award of up to $2,000 encourages UAA undergraduates enrolled in any degree-seeking
program to pursue a structured but non-traditional educational experience in service-learning.
Students who engaged in a study-abroad program or a domestic community-engaged program
crossed a "first bridge" that expanded their educational horizons. Crossing the "second
bridge" requires a commitment to either an international setting or a domestic setting
that will push the boundaries of traditional education, meet a community need and
afford a richer and deeper experience for the student.
