The Office of Engaged Learning

In collaboration with the President and the Vice President for Academic Affairs at New England College, the Office of Engaged Learning (OEL) was created in the summer of 2009. The OEL is charged with three primary functions:

•    Serving as a resource to faculty, staff, and students who are interested in participating in engaged learning activities as part of their course-work or on a voluntary basis. To date, students have found a variety of ways to serve the NEC community and beyond in activities that include hosting town hall meetings, volunteering at the local youth center, and working with refugee families settling into the area;

•    Promoting engaged learning across disciplines at New England College. In its first year, the OEL awarded 22 development grants to faculty members interested in creating engaged learning courses or incorporating engaged components within their courses;

•    Coordinating the engaged learning activities of Project Pericles, The Center for Civic Engagement, and CiviCorps.
