Cornerstone: Learning for Living
Our partnership with the National Endowment for the Humanities to co-sponsor the
Cornerstone: Learning for Living
grant program aims to foster deep discussions in and beyond the classroom about formative ideas in our multicultural world.
Andrew Delbanco
President, The Teagle Foundation
NEH is proud to partner with the Teagle Foundation to put the humanities at the center of general education, giving today's college students the tools necessary to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
Jon Parrish Peede
Chairman, National Endowment for the Humanities
We can translate the crisis in the humanities into an opportunity to reach students across our campuses with full-time faculty and to integrate our disciplines into the life of our university, and most importantly, to enrich the lives of our students.
Melinda Zook
Professor of History, Purdue University
