UNC Chapel Hill: APPLES Service-Learning Program: For Faculty

The Office of the Provost and the APPLES Service-Learning Program are soliciting proposals for Ueltschi Service-Learning Course Development Grants. We are seeking to award $8,000 grants to instructors to develop courses that successfully connect community service with course concepts, and to promote the pedagogy of service-learning on the UNC campus. Through the generosity of Jim and Jean Ueltschi, the University has received a substantial gift to develop five new service-learning undergraduate courses to be awarded this spring.

Service-learning is a progressive and innovative teaching strategy that has been adopted by university faculty nationwide. Service-learning integrates community service with academic instruction, offering students an opportunity to explore the connections between the theoretical realm of the classroom and the practical needs of the community. Service-learning is an approved method to satisfy the experiential education requirement of the General Education curriculum and APPLES is eager to support faculty engaging in service-learning.

In the 2006-2007 academic year, APPLES offered 69 service-learning courses, involving 56 faculty, 24 departments, 1240 students and 139 community organizations. APPLES courses give faculty an opportunity to provide a valuable source of service to the community through the work of their students.

Faculty members, adjunct faculty members, and graduate teaching assistants working with undergraduates in Academic and Health Affairs are eligible and encouraged to apply. A link to the request for proposals is provided below with applications due February 8, 2008. I strongly encourage you to consider becoming part of Carolina’s APPLES Service-Learning Program.
