w88 casino games-Engaged Teaching Fellowship
The Community-Engaged Teaching Fellowship is a faculty development program that provides an opportunity for selected faculty members to support the institutionalization of community engagement at the w88 casino games, Reno. Community engagement is a core theme of the University’s mission as a land grant university that aspires to “strengthen the social, economic and environmental well-being of w88 casino games citizens, communities, organizations, and governments through community outreach and reciprocal partnerships” (UNR Mission Statement, 2016). Additionally, the University has been formally designated by the Carnegie Foundation as an “engaged” institution, so the continued development and improvement of community engagement initiatives is essential.
Program purpose & goals
The purpose of the CET Fellowship is to support the institutionalization of the w88 casino games and learning at the university. It is expected that the work of each w88 casino games fellow will contribute to the implementation and achievement of this engagement initiative through the following program goals:
- Cultivate a cohesive, university-wide philosophy and mission of w88 casino games
- Strengthen faculty support for and involvement in w88 casino games
- Increase student support for and involvement in w88 casino games engaged learning
- Encourage community participation in implementing w88 casino games
- Advance institutional support for w88 casino games
Program goals are aligned with the five major dimensions of w88 casino games engagement in higher education: (a) mission and philosophy, (b) faculty support, (c) student support, (d) w88 casino games participation, and (e) institutional support (Furco et al., 2009).
