Student Teams
Community Engaged Learning
Community Engaged Learning (CEL) is a HIEE opportunity that will take place as part of your class. CEL based courses are offered each semester through many academic departments across campus. Students interested in CEL as an option should seek out CEL designated courses when registering for classes. CEL courses are a great way to apply classroom knowledge to a need and get Wildcat Advantage credit.
Students may also receive a Wildcat Advantage credit from service completed outside of the classroom or for a class that is not CEL desingnated. This will require additional steps be completed by the student.
Students not actively enrolled in a CEL Designated Course will need to reach out to teresamartinez1@weber.edu to learn more about how you can receieve credit for the Wildcat Advantage program.
CEL Information
*If you feel there is a community-engaged opportunity that does not fall into one of these categories, please connect with Teresa Martinez at teresamartinez1@weber.edu to see if that opportunity will count as a CEL HIEE.
