The University of Arkansas at Little Rock Community Connection Center will hold a Service-Learning Academy for UALR faculty members and instructors interested in integrating service learning into their courses.

The workshop will run from 9 to 11 a.m. June 6-9 in the UALR University District Building. Full-time faculty members and instructors will have the chance to earn a $1,000 stipend for successful completion of the workshop and a service-learning course.

Led by Dr. Kristen McIntyre, director of the Communication Skill Center, the academy will cover all aspects of adapting a course into a service-learning course, including learning outcomes and assessment, working with community partners, reflection activities, and liability and access issues.

Full-time faculty and instructors who participate in all academy sessions and complete a course syllabus and teaching plan will receive a $500 stipend. They will be given an additional $500 stipend after teaching a service-learning course and providing feedback.
