Resources and Opportunities
Recipient of the 2015 Ernest A. Lynton Award Announced
NERCHE and the Center for Engaged Democracy at Merrimack College present this year's Lynton Award to Dr. Eric DeMeulenaere, Assistant Professor of Urban Schooling in the Department of Education at Clark University.  Dr. DeMeulenaere has worked to improve urban education for the past 25 years, merging his activism with his role in academia. Through research, teaching, and community engagement, he confronts inequalities and empowers urban youth to create change in their communities.  The Lynton Award recognizes a faculty member who connects his or her teaching, research, and service to community engagement.  The award is designated for pre-tenured faculty.  Engaging in service-learning is often seen as 'adding' more work to something that will not be rewarded in faculty evaluations.  But if we look at service, teaching, and research as interconnected and synergistic, we find plenty of opportunities to make service-learning activities 'count' across all three dimensions.  This year's Lynton awardee is a grand example of junior faculty excellence in service-learning scholarship.
