Ernest A. Lynton Award for Faculty Professional Service & Academic Outreach

http://www.nerche.org/Lynton_Award/lynton_award.html

For faculty committed to civic and community engagement, there are two major national awards: the Thomas Ehrlich Civically Engaged Faculty Award, from Campus Compact, and the Ernest A. Lynton Award for the Scholarship of Engagement, from the New England Resource Center for Higher Education (NERCHE).

Both awards value community collaboration as well as institutional impact and honor engaged work across the faculty roles of teaching, research, and service. We encourage nominations for junior faculty (pre-tenure or early career at institutions with renewable contracts) for the Lynton Award and nominations for senior faculty (post-tenure or middle-to-late career at institutions without tenure) for the Ehrlich Award.

Much of my work in service-learning and community engagement has come as a result of the many excellent resources and materials generated by Campus Compact. When I first became the Founding Director of CSUSB's CUP [Community-University Partnership Institute], I relied almost exclusively on the resources of Campus Compact in designing, planning, and implementing our actions."
