Faculty Fellowships

Since 2008, the Bonner Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) has organized a fellows program for faculty members who seek to transform or create a course with an integrated community-based learning (CBL) component. Fellows participate in a Faculty Learning Community (FLC) facilitated by CCE staff but driven by the interests and goals of the FLC members. CCE Faculty Learning Committees are open to any instructor who will be teaching at the University of Richmond in 2025–26.

2026-27 Faculty Learning Communities

Newcomers

The Newcomers Faculty Learning Community is for UR instructors who are either new to CBL or new to the University of Richmond. "New to CBL" includes instructors who have been at UR for any amount of time but have no prior experience teaching community-based learning courses. "New to the University of Richmond" includes instructors of any classification who have been at the University for fewer than five years with or without prior CBL experience.

Learn more and apply by Friday, April 10.

The Richmond Cemetery Collaboratory

The CCE is looking for faculty/staff participants to join the Richmond Cemetery Collaboratory (RCC).

Entering its tenth year, the RCC is an interdisciplinary collaborative project between UR, VCU, the Friends of East End Cemetery, Woodland Restoration Foundation, and the Descendants Council of Greater Richmond, dedicated to documenting and supporting African American history and culture via the region’s cemeteries.

Participants in the RCC have brought their unique talents to help the mission through classes, research, community conversations, and beyond. Richmond Cemetery Collaboratory members earn a $1000 fellowship.
