Elon names 2004-05 Service Learning Faculty Scholars

Six Elon University faculty members have been named Service Learning Faculty Scholars for the 2004-05 academic year, a new program designed to incorporate the ideals of community service into academic courses. Service Learning Faculty Scholars will attend a series of seminars to learn about and discuss the use of service learning in their courses. They will design a course syllabus which includes a service learning component and will teach the course during the spring 2005 semester.

The faculty members chosen are:

  • Megan Conklin, Computing Sciences
  • Vic Costello, Communications
  • Glenda Crawford, Education
  • Janet Myers, English
  • Janice Richardson, Education
  • Hal Walker, Leisure

Service learning incorporates volunteer and community service opportunities into course curriculum. Faculty selected for the program receive a cash stipend and agree to serve as mentors to future service learning scholars.
