About

CLiFF will be a cohort-based experience where fellows explore community engaged pedagogy and are supported around a variety of outcomes that include but are not limited to 1) building Community Learning into their courses, 2) assessing departmental curricula against its community engagement learning objectives, 3) designing critical resources that will support current and future faculty across disciplines. Fellows will receive a stipend for their engagement during the academic year. 
CLiFF is being redesigned for 2026-2027. Changes to the program structure are forthcoming. For now, we are collecting interest forms to learn about faculty experience and topical interests so we can have informed conversations about the new direction. A formal application will follow.

Apply

Please complete the CLiFF Interest Form by June 26, 2026. 
The interest form asks about your experience with community-engaged teaching, which session topics interest you, and whether you’d be open to a brief conversation. This is not a formal application — it is a first step to help us shape the program around faculty needs.
