Call for Applications: Community Change Teaching Fellows Program (EPA Sponsored)
NOTICE: Unfortunately, the EPA grant supporting this program was terminated without due process or sufficient justification, effective 5/1/2025. We received outstanding applications to develop student projects with community partners, and all those involved in creating and supporting the program remain committed to promoting its objectives. We are exploring alternative funding opportunities to relaunch the program—or a similar one—in the near future.
Full-time, permanent Baylor instructors are invited to apply to the Community Change Teaching (CCT) Fellows Program. The CCT Fellows Program is funded by a Community Change Grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (Federal Award No. 02F7601) and is led by Dr. Joshua King (English/Dir. of Environmental Humanities), Dr. Stephanie Boddie (Social Work), and Dr. Kevin Magill (Education) in collaboration with the Office of Engaged Learning, Academy for Teaching and Learning, Office of External Affairs, Baylor University Libraries, and the Mayborn Museum. The CCT Fellows Program builds on commitments of Baylor in Deeds by providing mini grants for two cohorts of Fellows (2025, 2026) to create student projects for classes or directed learning opportunities in partnership with local community organizations (hereafter “community partners”). Projects will advance and/or raise awareness about food security, sustainable agriculture, and/or climate resilience in disadvantaged Waco communities.
