The Kaplan Family Distinguished Faculty Fellowship in Service-Learning recognizes
the importance of the national movement in higher education for greater involvement
in civic engagement.
Two faculty members significantly impacting undergraduate, professional, or graduate education at Cornell by involving their students in challenging service-learning programs, are honored by a $5,000 award to enable them to further develop an ongoing community-based learning/research project, to initiate a new effort, or to seek institutionalization of a service-learning course.
The award reinforces Cornell University's tradition of service to society and fosters further extension of public scholarship to all facets of Cornell's mission.
