2022 Barbara Moely Service Learning Award recipients honored

Last week the Center for Public Service honored the 2022 recipients of the Barbara E. Moely Service Learning Teaching Award at a faculty reception at Cudd Hall. The Moely Award is given in honor of professor emerita Barbara E. Moely, who founded service learning at Tulane in the 1990s. The award is presented annually to professors who embrace Moely’s exceptional dedication to bringing classrooms to life though engaged community partnerships.

This year’s recipients are Laura McKinney, associate professor in the departments of Sociology and Environmental Studies, and Ashley Keller Nelson, senior professor of practice in Business and Legal Studies (both pictured below).
