Faculty Advisory Committee

The Faculty Advisory Committee (FAC) plays an advisory role for the CCP’s academic initiatives, and an advocacy role for community-engaged learning and research at the University of Toronto. The FAC provides advice and feedback on faculty outreach, engagement, communications and support; and on CEL/CER resources, events and programmes. FAC members have experience teaching and/or researching using a community-engaged learning (or, service-learning) approach at the University of Toronto, and come from across disciplines, campuses, divisions and appointment types.

Members serve a two-year term with the possibility of renewal. Co-chairs serve a three-year term.
