Deadlines
Register for a CEL Course by Friday, Nov. 21

Register for a Community-Engaged Learning (CEL) course this spring! To find upcoming CEL courses in Stellic, go to attributes and search for “H-Community-Engaged Learning.” CEL courses integrate collaboration with off-campus community partners into the curriculum in a way that benefits both students and the community. Students produce or do something of value for the partner, and the community work deepens learning related to course goals. CEL courses can make course content more engaging, applied, and relevant, and facilitate professional skill-building, career discernment, and networking.
