Karls Named Public Service and Outreach Fellow for Spring 2011 February 7, 2011 University of Georgia Associate Professor of Microbiology Anna Karls has been selected as a Public Service and Outreach Fellow for Spring 2011. Steve Wrigley, UGA interim vice president for public service and outreach, created the Public Service and Outreach Fellowship Program to provide tenure-track and tenured faculty members the opportunity to immerse themselves in a Public Service and Outreach unit for one semester, thereby enriching the work of the unit while providing the faculty Fellow with research and outreach opportunities to benefit communities. The Public Service and Outreach units include the Archway Partnership, Carl Vinson Institute of Government, Fanning Institute, Georgia Center for Continuing Education Conference Center and Hotel, Marine Extension Service, Office of Service-Learning, Small Business Development Center, and the State Botanical Garden of Georgia. Dr. Karls’ fellowship experience in the Fanning Institute includes participation in Institute activities designed to improve the quality of life in Georgia communities through community solutions, economic inclusion, leadership education, and voluntary action. Dr. Karls is using her Public Service and Outreach Fellowship experience to enhance and develop graduate courses in the areas of community engagement scholarship and practices. Consistent with UGA’s land-grant mission, she is interested in helping to establish a graduate certificate in community engagement and an engagement portfolio program, which would be modeled on UGA’s interdisciplinary graduate certificate in university teaching and teaching portfolio program. This is the first semester of the Public Service and Outreach Fellows Program. Proposals are currently being invited for the 2011 Fall semester.
