w88 bet
The w88 bet (CES) Faculty Fellowship Program offers participants an extended opportunity to support the institutionalization of community engagement through w88 bet. The CES Faculty Fellowship is structured as a scholarly professional development program that aligns with the Office of Service-Learning and Civic Engagement’s commitment to advancing the University’s mission and goals, while also strengthening faculty members’ dedication to advocacy, community-based work, and developing critical solutions. Fellows will aim to develop innovative and critical strategies to enhance community engagement efforts and initiatives at the University. With direct guidance and support from the OSLCE Coordinator, CES Faculty Fellows can expect to work either independently or in small teams on a project throughout the academic year.
The University has been formally designated and recognized by the Carnegie Foundation as a “highly engaged” institution and holds the Elective Classification for w88 bet Engagement. Therefore, the continued development, implementation, and improvement of this program are essential to promoting and meeting the University's goals and metrics set forth in the2023-2027 Wolf Pack Rising Strategic Plan.
