Applications are now available for Mississippi State University's 2024-2025 Community-Engaged Learning Fellows program.

The CEL Fellows program supports instructional faculty and staff in integrating community-engaged learning into their formal or non-formal teaching. Sponsored by the Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President and the Center for Community-Engaged Learning, CEL Fellows learn community-engaged learning theory, course design and pedagogy. CEL is a high-impact educational practice that improves student engagement, learning and development, and active citizenship.

The CEL Fellows program seminar will meet in May. Participants receive a $1,000 course or research development award, peer support and one-on-one assistance to design a new CEL course or modify an existing course.

Program guidelines and application can be obtained via an email to michelle.garraway@msstate.edu. Submissions are due by March 1.
