One faculty member is given a fellowship annually to serve as a mentor to interested faculty. Service-learning is hopefully evaluated as a component of teaching in the tenure process. A document was written by the Faculty Advisory Committee to encourage this. Discussions with advanced departments indicate it is evaluated as an innovation in teaching. Our vision is not based on a percentage of courses, rather, it is based on offering all students the opportunity to enroll in a service-learning course at some point in their undergraduate career if they so choose.
Information is kept on file of the number of courses and faculty.
All service-learning courses are surveyed to obtain the number of students involved and the hours of service given for the course 23. I estimate over 200 annually. Some are one-time, others are continuous. Some programs have extensive relationships with agency partners, including designing curricula and co-teaching courses. These agency partners are given adjunct faculty status.
