An engaged learning experience is a cornerstone of our signature pedagogy; supporting faculty-student interaction outside the classroom is a critical element to student engagement and success.
Our faculty mini-grant program is designed to support initiatives to advance this work in both the first-year of college and the advancement of service-learning pedagogy at all levels of the undergraduate experience. The Division of Student Life has designated a limited amount of funding to encourage an interactive experience between students and their faculty beyond the traditional classroom. These co-curricular activities can be tied to specific course content and/or designed to create community among the students in the course section.
The goal of the First Year Experience program is to connect students to each other, the University community, and the City of Philadelphia, to support and encourage new students, and ensure they succeed personally and academically.
The purpose of the Service-Learning initiative is to encourage the development of Philadelphia University students as active citizens and professionals by nurturing an ethic of service promoting personal and professional responsibility.
The maximum amount of each mini-grant is $500. Applications should be submitted at least three weeks prior to the proposed activity, and are reviewed on a first-come, first-serve basis. Staff from Student Development Program is available to provide additional programming assistance, such as bus reservations or event information, if needed.
