Faculty, staff attend development institute

Dr. John Bowman (Sociology), Dr. Anita Guynn (English, Theatre and Languages) and Melanie Clark (Student Activities) recently attended a Faculty Development Institute on Service-Learning in Charlotte sponsored by the North Carolina Campus Compact (NCCC).

The Campus Compact is a national organization of university presidents who support service-learning and civic engagement. Chancellor Meadors joined NCCC in December on behalf of UNCP. NCCC provides financial support, professional development and resources to its member institutions.

The Institute on Service-Learning conference was paid for through a grant from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation. A $500 grant from the project will allow UNCP to conduct faculty development workshops on service-learning.

“The overarching goal is to have a minimum of five faculty members who will agree to teach a service-learning course in the fall,” Clark said.

Faculty members have an opportunity to attend a conference on service-learning at Elon University on March 3. The Office of Academic Affairs has agreed to pay fees and travel expenses.

Melanie Clark will coordinate the registration process. She may be contacted at extension 6207 or at melanie.clark@uncp.edu. The deadline is February 18. To learn more see: www.compact.org or www.elon.edu/nccc/.
