Professor Elam

Good morning!

 

The Internship Grant application is open until January 29^th. Please share this with your students who have secured unpaid internships and are looking for a way to fund their experience!  This video tutorial will help students with the online application in Handshake. Feel free to refer student to me if they have any questions or need help with their application.  I have also attached 2 flyers you can post in your offices, via email, or on Blackboard.

 

In addition to this grant opportunity I wanted to take this time to introduce you to our Service-Learning coordinator Allie Beedle, abeedle@tamusa.edu, who is here to support your courses whether that be transportation for a student trip, background checks for placements, or bringing speakers into the class. Allie is also here to assist in any course designations you might have.

 

Also, the Course Designation Committee, which is a faculty led committee, is currently accepting all applications to designate any courses you've taught, are teaching, or plan to teach in the future as experiential or service-learning (internship courses are experiential learning courses but you must submit an application to the committee for official designation). This designation directly responds to our university goal of having 20% of courses designated in each college by 2021. 

 

We will also be hosting Experiential Learning Workshops for those who currently have courses designated or for those interested in the designation process. In the workshop we will go over the keys of an EL course, reflection and assessment as well as the application process. 

 

Workshop Dates: 

Thursday, January 23rd 4:00-6:00 

Monday, January 27th 2:00-4:00 

Wednesday, January 29th 3:00- 5:00 

Friday, January 31st 10:00- 12:00

 

If you'd like to join us for any of these workshops please feel free to reach out to Allie at abeedle@tamusa.edu 

 

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

 

Regards,
Kaelyn
