The deadline of Friday, Oct. 11 is just one week away for submitting a proposal needed in order to have your course listed with a Community Engaged Learning (CEL) attribute in the 2025 Winter Term.
The Institute for Leadership and Service is hosting one last CEL proposal workshop Tuesday, Oct. 8 from 12-1:30 p.m. in the Health Professions Facility, Room 124. A Bucharest lunch will be provided for all. RSVP is required.
If interested in attending the workshop, please contact Director of Community Engaged Learning Tim Hipskind at hipskijt@udmercy.edu and state if you plan to participate online or in-person and what your meal preference may be for shawarma: Chicken, beef or falafel.
Community Engaged Learning (CEL) is a form of experiential learning in which students achieve learning objectives of academic courses through collaborative work with non-profit and community leaders on issues in our community. The proposals are a tool for engaging all CEL faculty to get input on how we can work together to enhance CEL at Detroit Mercy. Participants from the first two workshops left with a clear sense of how we will be working together toward the CEL outcomes as we move forward.
