CCP Faculty Advisory Committee
The Faculty Advisory Committee advises the Centre for Community Partnerships and advocates for community-engaged learning at the University of Toronto.
The CCP Faculty Advisory Committee is comprised of:
- Two co-chairs
- The Director of the Centre for Community Partnerships, the Senior Director, Student Experience and the Vice-Provost of Innovations in Undergraduate Education
- 10-12 members with experience teaching using a community-engaged learning approach and publishing scholarship on community-engaged teaching and learning
Diverse representation (campuses, faculties, colleges, departments, rank, teaching and research streams, seniority at U of T, experience in CEL teaching and learning and community engagement) is of utmost importance.
The committee meets two times per year (early Fall term, early Spring term).
Chairs serve a three-year term and members serve a two-year term.
