Overview

The purpose of the Missouri Campus Compact (MoCC) Engaged Faculty Fellow program is to promote the scholarship of engagement as a rigorous and scholarly form of teaching, research, and professional service in the state of Missouri and across the nation.

One Engaged Faculty Fellow will be selected, on an annual basis, from across the state of Missouri to serve as co-editor for a newly created peer reviewed journal (Missouri Journal of Public Scholarship in Higher Education).  The Engaged Faculty Fellow will be selected via application process, must be a full-time faculty member at a Missouri Campus Compact member institution with experience in service-learning,  and currently engaged in a form of public scholarship.  The Fellow will serve for a period of approximately 14 months.

2010-2011 Engaged Faculty Fellow

Dr. Emily Donnelli

Dr. Emily Donnelli is the Missouri Campus Compact Engaged Faculty Fellow. Dr. Donnelli is an Associate Professor of English and the Program Coordinator for Writing at Park University.

Dr. Donnelli is in her fifth year of teaching at Park University, where she has integrated service-learning curriculum in her academic writing classes. There, she has helped shape 
a model for service-learning in which, following the lead of Thomas Deans', students write about, write for, and write with the community. To further share these concepts with her peers in academia, she is currently developing her pedagogical design into a manuscript. Throughout her tenure in higher education, Dr. Donnelli has made service-learning and civic engagement a primary focus in her teaching and research activities.

Dr. Donnelli gathered prior editing experience through her work on the book Service-eLearning: Educating for Citizenship, which “marries the complementary theories and practices of these two forms of learning, and offers a range of cross-disciplinary course/project examples.” She also has numerous refereed works in books, journals, and online publications, many of which she has presented at various conferences across the country.

As the Engaged Faculty Fellow, Dr. Donnelli will work to promote the scholarship of engagement as a rigorous and scholarly form of teaching, research, and professional service in the state of Missouri and across the nation by serving as the co-editor of a new publication being developed by Missouri Campus Compact, the Missouri Journal of Public Scholarship in Higher Education.
