CBLR Fellows work with faculty on planning and/or implementing specific engaged courses. While fellows’ responsibilities vary, they may serve as important peer mentors for students enrolled in the course to which they’re assigned, as well as liaisons between students, faculty, community partners and Swearer Center staff.
Swearer Center for Public Service
Community-Based Learning and Research Fellowship
Structure
In addition to supporting students' ongoing involvement with community partners or topics that are important to them, this leadership experience should ideally align with the student's academic interests and enhance their communication, partnership-building, organizing, and problem-solving abilities. Although the duties of fellows differ slightly from one course to the next, they all require approximately seven hours per week.
Funding
CBLR Fellows receive a $1475 stipend for each semester.
Students as Colleagues
The Swearer Center understands the work of CBLR Fellows as partners in community-engaged teaching, learning and research, peer mentors and leaders, reflection leaders and engaged scholars.
