All CEL-designated course sections receive $1,500 Professional Development Funds

Thanks to generous support from Advisors Management Group (AMG), instructors who receive a CEL designation beginning in fall 2025 through spring 2028 will receive $1,500 in professional development funds. These funds can be used to support teaching, research, or other professional development activities.

Additionally, a limited pool of Supplies & Expenses (S&E) funding is available to support specific course needs such as materials, printing, transportation, or other CEL-related costs. S&E awards are based on feasibility and available funding.

Preview the CEL proposal [here]. To explore potential community projects, visit the UWL Community Idea Exchange or contact Lisa Klein, Director of Community Engagement.

Deadlines:

  • Round One: September 15, 2025 — The designation will be applied before course registration begins.
  • Round Two: May 15, 2025 — The designation will not appear before registration starts.

The Office of Community Engagement looks forward to welcoming you to the growing community of CEL instructors at UWL.
