Conville Endowment for Community Engaged Teaching and Research
The Conville Endowment for Community Engaged Teaching and Research was established
to honor Dr. and Mrs. Richard L. Conville and to support and reward excellence in
community-engaged teaching and research. Multiple funding awards are given each year
to faculty.
Service-Learning Faculty Fellows
CCE accepts 5-6 faculty each year to participate in the Service-Learning Faculty Fellows
program, in which faculty meet weekly during the spring semester to learn about service-learning
pedagogy and redesign an academic course to include a service-learning component.
Faculty Fellows receive $2400 to teach the initial service-learning course, which
can either be paid as direct compensation to the faculty member (minus fringe benefits
and taxes) or paid to the faculty member鈥檚 school (full amount).

One undergraduate student will receive recognition and a $300 prize for presenting
the best community-engaged research or creative activity at the annual Undergraduate
