Seton Hall Experiential Learning and Leadership through Service (SHELLS)
The Center for Community Research and Engagement (CCRE) is pleased to announce the availability of stipends for curricular development in the area of service learning.  To support sustainability, awards are contingent on course development over two years. Stipends of $1,000 during the first year will be awarded to full-time faculty on the South Orange campus.
 
The activities of students in the field are purposefully developed and assigned to assist the instructor in achieving the course goals and objectives.  Service-learning enhances the content of the course through comparison of real world experiences with theoretic ideas and concepts.

Core Curriculum
CCRE coordinates the service learning lab component of the freshman core curriculum. Last year, faculty teaching 10 sections of the Core teamed with CCRE to design a service component to their course, in which students engage is tutoring and mentoring as one of our community sites. Sites are generally, but are not limited to, public schools and nonprofit organizations who strive for access to quality service.
