What is the Community-Engaged Learning (CEL) Faculty Peer Support?
The Community-Engaged Learning (CEL, aka service-learning) Peer Support Program was developed so that experienced CEL faculty can pass on learned experiences and shared knowledge to faculty new to the field, and to those interested in deepening their expertise and enhancing their professional development.
