Faculty Learning
Community Seeks New Members The Faculty Learning Community for Engaged Scholarship (FLC) is
seeking new members. The FLC is an
interdisciplinary group of faculty members who engage in an active, collaborative,
yearlong program focusing on the scholarship of engagement. Also known as
community-engaged scholarship, the scholarship of engagement integrates work
in the areas of teaching, research, and/or service that addresses community
issues. The FLC provides an intellectual venue in which faculty can exchange
ideas with an academically diverse group and learn from one another’s
experiences. Members become familiar with the tools and resources needed to
implement community-engaged scholarship successfully. Faculty members interested in joining the FLC should contact CCSI Director Dr. Glenn Bowen, gbowen@barry.edu. --- |
