Graduate Student Fellow, Carnegie Elective Classification

Description:

Starting in the 2024 cycle, the Carnegie Elective Classifications will pilot a peer review process for the Community Engagement Classification. The goal of moving to a peer review process is to make the elective classification of and by the field and increase the diversity of reviewers who both understand and represent the broader landscape of higher education institutions and community engagement.

As part of the first peer review process of the Carnegie Elective Classification for Community Engagement, four (4) graduate student fellows will be selected to support three peer reviewer teams during the first phase of reviews. Teams of three (3) individuals will review 7-10 applications. Graduate student fellows will schedule group review meeting(s), draft minutes for review meetings, review and edit feedback documentation reports, and participate in the discussion of applications. This professional development experience is intended to build graduate fellows’ networks, capacity for assisting with a community engagement application in the future, capacity to be a peer reviewer in future cycles, and increase exposure to practices of community-engaged scholarship, community-engaged teaching and service-learning pedagogies. 

The Elective Classifications Office will select and train graduate students from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and institutions. Graduate students will have the choice to be compensated $1200 or have the equivalent be applied towards attending a conference related to community-engaged teaching and scholarship in academic year 2023-2024.
