This year's cohort will focus on community-based learning, an educational approach that integrates classroom instruction with meaningful community engagement. “Community-based learning is a premier avenue for Georgia Tech to fulfill our mission to develop leaders who improve the human condition," said CTL's Kate Williams, who leads faculty-facing efforts for the Transformative Teaching and Learning (TTL) strategic initiative. Over 1,000 students are expected to enroll in the community-based learning courses developed through this round of grants. View the list of recipients and learn more about their projects.
