Faculty who integrate community-based learning opportunities and pedagogies into their courses (including online classes) can play a key role in supporting student advising and success. Various forms of student-centered high impact applied learning through civic engagement are known to enhance a student’s academic, personal and professional growth. Applying course content and pre-professional readiness skills in real-world settings has been shown to be effective in developing transferable career skills in critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, decision making, collaboration, and communication. Assessing those skills as learning outcomes before, during and after community-based learning experiences can provide a core inventory for use in student academic advising and career path consultations. This presentation will review various initiatives that Binghamton University’s Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) administers and facilitates that enhance the capacity of faculty to support student advising and success through applied learning. The CCE is the university’s central unit for strengthening and expanding effective and reciprocal university-community partnerships. CCE initiatives include: an interactive web-based Community Service-Listings platform that assists student and faculty networking with community partners; community-centered student curricular and co-curricular programs and activities; specific faculty academic support initiatives, including workshops on experiential and applied learning, Community Engagement Faculty Teaching Grants, and a Community Engaged Teaching Fellows Program; a Banner system registration designation process for academic service-learning and community-engaged learning courses; a Student Newsletter highlighting ongoing academic and service opportunities, and a Faculty/Staff Community Engagement Newsletter providing information on community-based teaching, research and service opportunities. Case study examples will be presented that highlight and assess best practices and challenges to enhancing the role and capacity of faculty to support student advising and success through integrating skills-based applied learning outcomes into their courses.
