Today's Message

The Buffalo State Pedagogical Institute will present Using Your Service Learning as Research and Scholarship on Thursday, May 21, at 9:30 a.m. in Butler Library 181B.

Have you wondered how you can connect service-learning courses to fulfill faculty requirements for scholarship? Workshop participants will collaboratively explore current theories, practices, and assessment measures of community-engaged learning and research, and identify opportunities to use service-learning teaching as scholarship and research. Topics covered will included overview of community-engaged scholarship, rationale for why to connect service-learning with scholarship, resource guides for support, examples of high-quality scholarship, and tools to document engaged scholarship for reward and promotion.

Afternoon sessions are available by appointment. To make an appointment, e-mail Lauren E. Turner, professional development assistant.
