Spring 2023 Service-Learning Faculty Fellows
Professor Geoff Delanoy is the Chair of Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s Art Department and has taught a number of service-learning courses, including a photography class for non-majors in 2019 that incorporated a project with (AWE) as the culminating experience. He looks forward to continuing this partnership through the Portrait Photography course he teaches, as well as designing a 300 or 400-level photo course that enables students to complete long-term projects with community partners.
Professor Kendrick Kenney is the Chair of the Communication Arts Department. He says his goal when teaching a service-learning course is to create a holistic learning experience by connecting curriculum to the communities where our students live. He has presented at a plethora of academic conferences centered around experiential learning, most recently the National Collegiate Honors Conference (NCHC) where he shared strategies on how learning communities and other high-impact practices like service-learning can increase enrollment and retention for first-year students, first-generation students, and underrepresented minorities.
