Community Engaged Teaching Fellowship

Main content start

The Community Engaged Teaching Fellowship—formerly the Faculty Fellows program—provides a community of practice to instructors wishing to incorporate community-engaged learning (CEL) into their courses.

Faculty Fellows

Often called “service learning,” these courses combine learning goals and community service to enhance both student growth and the common good. At Stanford, these are referred to as Cardinal Courses.
