## About

ACES courses represent corners of campus that highlights the intent of the AC requirement, while also deepening the meaning of that intent through a combination of multi-disciplinary research and praxis, the development of students and community partners as co-educators, mentoring opportunities, and increased and sustained accessibility of information.

To learn about projects developed with [ACES community partners](https://americancultures.berkeley.edu/aces/community-partnerships), please visit the [ACES Student Community Projects.](https://americancultures.berkeley.edu/aces/projects)

The ACES Program provides support for faculty to incorporate community-based learning into new or revised AC courses. If you are a faculty member interested in developing or continuing an ACES course, please visit our [Grants](https://americancultures.berkeley.edu/node/206) page.

## ACES Chancellor's Public Fellows

Faculty members who teach an ACES course may apply for funding to appoint a graduate student or senior undergraduate student as an ACES Chancellor’s Public Fellows. Fellows play a critical role in developing a course’s community-engagement component, collaborating closely with faculty members to foster meaningful undergraduate learning experiences. They ensure that community partnerships are mutually beneficial and contribute to long-term community impact. \
\
A Fellow’s role will vary depending on the needs of the course and generally include serving as a liaison between faculty, community partners, and students. Fellows may also facilitate structured reflections with students, assist with syllabus development, and cultivate community partnerships.
