Faculty & Staff Development Opportunities

Workshops & Events

• Every spring quarter, CCE offers an introductory 4-part workshop series on Community Engaged Learning Pedagogy. Topics include foundations of CEL pedagogy, preparing yourself and your students for critical CEL, developing equitable partnerships, and designing effective reflection and assessment strategies for CEL. Faculty and staff are welcome to attend all four workshops or drop in for three or fewer. Participants who complete all four workshops will receive a $500 stipend.
  ** The RSVP form for this spring's workshop series is now available. Click here to view dates and reserve your spot. **

• The Community Engaged Learning Faculty Fellowship is a year-long, cohort-based program in which faculty receive resources, guidance, and community as they revise a syllabus to integrate community engaged learning. Fellows receive $2000 for completing the program.
  ** We're currently accepting applications for the 2024-2025 CEL Faculty Fellowship. View full program requirements and application here. **
  
  
• One of the goals of the CCE is to partner with faculty and staff to develop relationships with community partners throughout Central Seattle. Local Immersions and other networking events offer faculty and staff a deeper understanding of local issues, plant the seeds for community partnerships, and help faculty and staff learn experientially with colleagues from across campus.
