Through this fellowship, Dr. Mann is leading efforts to deepen and expand community-engaged teaching and learning across the university, reinforcing Feliciano\u2019s commitment to integrating meaningful, real-world experiences into the curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>As part of her HEAL Fellowship project, Scaling Up, Serving More: Expanding Faculty Engagement in Community-Engaged Teaching and Learning, Dr. Mann is partnering with campus offices and academic departments to advance two core initiatives. First, she is developing workshops focused on community-engaged pedagogy to increase awareness, build faculty expertise, and support the effective integration of community-based learning into courses. She is also creating a shared resource library that will serve as a centralized knowledge base for community-engaged teaching and learning materials.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Dr. Mann is designing a framework to connect MSU faculty with a network of community partners and projects, making it easier to embed service-learning and community-based experiences into courses. Together, these initiatives aim to strengthen faculty collaboration and ensure that students gain hands-on learning opportunities that connect academics to real-world application.<\/p>\n<p>The HEAL Fellowship also supports other faculty-led initiatives, including projects led by Dr. Elenice DeSouza Oliveira, whose work focuses on fostering a sustainable culture of human flourishing and student well-being across academic communities, and Dr. Peter Hosick, whose initiative advances physical activity as a vital component of student health and success through campus-wide wellness programming. Collectively, the HEAL Fellows\u2019 work advances Montclair State University\u2019s mission to foster sustainable, intentional, and measurable approaches to student success, wellness, and development across the academic community.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/faculty-excellence\/heal-fellows-2025-26-cohort\/\">Learn more about the HEAL Fellows<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Manveer Mann, Associate Professor in the Marketing department, has been selected as a recipient of Montclair\u2019s HEAL Fellowship, a university-wide initiative that supports faculty leadership in higher education.
