THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Humanities Education, Higher Education, Education Innovation
Deadline: Dec. 1, 2024 (concept papers)
“The Cornerstone: Learning for Living initiative aims to reinvigorate the role of the humanities in general education, and in doing so, expose a broad array of students to the power of the humanities; help students of all backgrounds build a sense of belonging and community; strengthen the coherence and cohesiveness of general education; and increase teaching opportunities for humanities faculty. The initiative is inspired by a successful program model developed at Purdue University, which has helped students in pre-professional majors strengthen critical thinking and communication skills, reversed the decline in credit hours at Purdue’s College of Liberal Arts, and raised morale and teaching opportunities for humanities faculty. Institutions will be selected based on the design and scale of their proposed programs.
Selection criteria for both planning and implementation requests:
(1) A faculty-led and faculty-owned initiative;
(2) A common intellectual experience anchored in transformative texts for incoming students;
(3) Coherent pathways through general education
(4) Student reach, particularly for STEM and other pre-professional majors
(5) Sustainability
(6) Assessment
(7) Dissemination.”
Funder: The Teagle Foundation
