Dr. Christy Wessel Powell awarded Fall 2022 service-learning fellowship for Purdue-community partnership

Dr. Christy Wessel Powell, Assistant Professor in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction is one of seven Purdue instructors selected by Purdue’s Office of Engagement for their fall 2022 Service-Learning Fellows Program. This program fosters the development and institutionalization of service-learning courses and curricula, projects and scholarly pursuits at Purdue as well as strengthens collaborative efforts and outcomes in communities.

Throughout the fall semester, the fellows will work with service-learning staff and community partners to explore the nature of service-learning courses and partnerships at Purdue amid the ever-changing reality of the COVID-19 pandemic and systemic racial injustice. Together, participants will collaboratively develop the skills and tools needed to deliver effective, mutually beneficial service-learning courses. Each partnership receives up to $2,000 to fund their project.
