Dear Colleague:
We’d like to let you know about two recent additions to NERCHE’s
website regarding the Ernest A. Lynton Award for the Scholarship of Engagement,
our annual award recognizing an early-career faculty member who connects his or
her teaching, research, and service to community engagement.
First, we have added a new Exemplary Syllabi page to the
site. As part of the application process for the Lynton Award, we ask
nominees to submit examples of syllabi that represent their community-engaged
teaching and learning. The Exemplary Syllabi page features noteworthy syllabi
representing innovative practices across the disciplines that value students
and community members as collaborators in the teaching and learning experience.
To view the new Exemplary Syllabi page, click here or paste
the following link into your web browser: http://bit.ly/tlFc9Q.
Second, an updated version of the Lynton Award Profile is available for PDF download on
NERCHE’s website. This publication includes in-depth information about
the history of the Lynton Award, along with descriptions of the
community-engaged work of the current Award recipient, Dr. Katherine
Lambert-Pennington, as well as all past recipients. The Profile also includes
a remembrance of Ernest Lynton, who, as Eugene Rice writes, “dedicated his life
to making a place for engaged scholarship and to shaping colleges and
universities committed to the common good.”

We hope that the Exemplary Syllabi and updated Profile will be
both useful and inspirational for practitioners across the higher education
spectrum, including prospective nominees for the Lynton Award. If you
have any questions about these resources or about the Award itself, please do
not hesitate to contact NERCHE.
Sincerely,
Sharon Singleton
