The Academic Service-Learning
Faculty Fellows Program
The Hub is offering at least 6 ASL Faculty Fellowships for the Academic Year 2015-2016.
During the Fellows Program, faculty members engage in readings and discussions
about methods to implement ASL in their courses. The Hub provides assistance and
additional resources that the Fellows might need both throughout the development
program as well as during the teaching of the respective courses regarding course
design, community partnering, and reflection exercises.

teaching experiences and to develop knowledge of ASL pedagogy. By the end of the

ASL Designation criteria, the faculty member is also entitled to apply for: 1) course
activity funds; 2) a Student Fellow to provide course assistance; as well as 3) a research
