The window to apply for a Community Engaged Learning (CEL) designation for spring 2027 courses is now open. A limited pool of Professional Development funds and Supplies & Expenses funding is now available on a first-come, first-served basis. A preview of the CEL proposal can be viewed here. If you’re looking to connect with a community partner, you can find potential project ideas on the UWL Community Idea Exchange or contact UWL Director of Community Engagement Lisa Klein.   

The round one deadline to apply for the spring 2027 semester is Sept. 15, 2026. The CEL designation will be applied to your course by the start of registration. The round two deadline for spring 2027 is Jan. 15, 2027. If you apply by the round two deadline, the designation will not be applied to your course at the start of registration.  

The Office of Community Engagement is excited to welcome you to the growing list of CEL instructors at UWL.
