The Florida Campus Compact Emerging Scholars Program 2009-2010

As part of an ongoing effort to provide valuable professional development and training for campus leaders across the state, Florida Campus Compact (FL|CC) invites Service-Learning/Civic Engagement/Community Service Directors (CSDs), Coordinators, and Faculty to apply for the 2009-2010 Emerging Scholars Program. This yearlong program provides an opportunity for participants to develop their interests in service-learning while working with experts in the field to build and develop high quality service-learning/civic engagement programs.

Emerging Scholars will be expected to:
• Participate in service-learning workshops and seminars
• Strengthen networks with colleagues and campuses throughout the state of Florida
• Produce resources for the field and receive feedback on their work
• Further service-learning and other engagement efforts on their campuses
• Develop and promote sustainable programs on individual campuses and across the state
Over the course of the year, scholars will have the chance to share their accomplishments and seek advice on their challenges through conference calls and face-to-face meetings with FL|CC staff members, other program participants, and service-learning experts. Each scholar will develop and submit a project portfolio, which will include personal reflections on the value of this program, best practices, and research related to the programs or projects they create or improve. These portfolios will be compiled and showcased as a resource to be shared statewide.

After completing the program, participants will have the opportunity to apply for the "FL|CC Certified Scholars Program" for further professional development and training in the field of service-learning.
