Grant Summary

$100,000 over 28 months to develop a cohort of 30 faculty members at Periclean institutions who will champion civic engagement in the classroom, on the campus, and in the community. Faculty will develop, teach, and evaluate an academic course that incorporates issues of civic engagement, as well as organize campus-wide activities and prepare an academic paper or project. This project builds on the success of the Civic Engagement Courses program, which Teagle previously supported.
