STEM Faculty Fellows Program

Stetson University is partnering with Florida Campus Compact (FL/CC) and Learn and Serve America to support the integration of service learning into courses that focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) areas. Those teaching courses on Environmental Sustainability or Community Health issues are also encouraged to apply. The STEM Service-Learning Fellows program supports faculty in the redesign and implementation of Service-Learning courses that align with the university's goal of integrating Community Engaged Learning throughout Stetson's curriculum.

 Space is limited. Register early to secure your spot.
