We are pleased to announce the call for applications for the third cohort of the Faculty Fellowship Program, created by the SUNY Performance Improvement Funds (PIF) grant received by Buffalo State to assist in our efforts to centralize and support approved applied learning (AAL) on campus. Applied learning refers to an educational approach whereby students learn by engaging in direct application of skills, theories, and models. To be “approved,” the activity or course must meet the five criteria as defined by SUNY.

Full-time and part-time faculty members are encouraged to apply for the fall 2019 Approved Applied Learning Faculty Fellowship Cohort. Experience in applied learning is not required.

Selected participants will receive $1,000 in two installments, awarded as follows:

Faculty fellows will receive $500 for the following responsibilities:

• completing a two-day mini-conference on Wednesday, May 22 (8:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m.), and Thursday, May 23, (8:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.).

Participants will receive an additional $500 for the following responsibilities:

• implementing the AAL activity in the fall 2019 semester; 
• submitting a completed AAL project or activity outline (content and assessment);
• participating in at least two follow-up meetings during fall 2019;
• being an active participant as an approved applied learning fellow (for example, presenting to the campus, contributing to the website, designing and offering a workshop), and
• completing and distributing assessment surveys.  

Applications are due by Monday, April 15. Please contact Stephanie Zuckerman- Aviles, director of the Career Development Center, with questions about the program.
