Faculty and Staff Grants

A new office dedicated to the Communities of Engaged Learning Initiative is being developed based on the outcomes of the 2006-07 PBA process. This new office will be charged with overseeing grants that support the initiative. Specifically, $400,000 annually has been set aside to fund faculty and staff grants (approximately $2,500) that support and get to the heart of the three P’s. Additional resources will be distributed to build an integrated approach to ethics, career development and stewardship.

“Our highest priority in all of this is to connect the professional interests of our students with issues facing the community and to connect the campus with the broader community,” Sederburg said. “UVU will be a regional state university, which means that the region’s and community’s interests become our interests.”

The Communities of Engaged Learners model will be based on the four core strengths of UVSC, which will carry over to UVU:

1. quality teaching
2. student-centered
3. regionally-focused
4. opportunity-based Apply for a Center for Engaged Learning Grant
