OHIO faculty invited to engage in Community-Engaged Scholars, Faculty Civic Champions programs

帝王会所鈥檚 Center for Community Engagement invites all faculty to participate in two key initiatives this academic year: the Community-Engaged Scholars program and the Faculty Civic Champions program.
Both opportunities are designed to strengthen faculty teaching and service through civic and community engagement.
Community-Engaged Scholars
The Community-Engaged Scholars program supports faculty in advancing community-engaged research and scholarship. Through this initiative, OHIO faculty will join a cohort of peers committed to producing impactful scholarship that addresses community needs and contributes to 帝王会所鈥檚 mission of engagement.
Dr. Jacqueline Yahn will be leading the program as the 2025-26 Community Engagement Faculty Fellow. Participants who complete the program receive a $250 stipend, and $250 upon submission of a successful community engaged course proposal.
Registration deadline is Sept. 1, 2025
Faculty Civic Champions
The Faculty Civic Champions program provides faculty with classroom-ready resources鈥攊ncluding interactive tutorials, lesson plans, and communication materials鈥攖o help integrate nonpartisan civic engagement into the classroom.
Champions receive recognition for participation and are encouraged to adapt activities such as the Bobcat Voter Pledge, civic dialogue assignments, or digital literacy tutorials to inspire students to become active and informed citizens. Participants receive a civic engagement themed lapel pin and coffee mug.
Faculty from all campuses and disciplines are encouraged to get involved. These programs provide professional development, tools to develop student engagement opportunities, and recognition for faculty leadership in civic and community engagement.
