Faculty Development Opportunities

CECiL offers different ways to engage with faculty as they develop and propose community engagement and civic learning courses. Learn more below!

Course Designation Workshops

Course Proposal Workshops are opportunities to work with CECiL Staff members to enhance civic and community outcomes within your course(s). These workshops are intended to help faculty with existing CBL courses or courses with Civic Outcomes. Faculty will learn about current best practices and how to apply for a Mason Impact course designation. Faculty will receive a participation letter for their portfolio when their course has the Mason Impact designation.

We will be offering these workshops on the following dates and times this upcoming academic year:

  • Sept 10 from 2 - 3pm
  • Sept 25 from 10 - 11am 
  • October 6th from 12 - 1pm

All sessions will take place via Zoom, and faculty may register HERE
