Grant Summary

$25,000 over 12 months to support the University Scholars Transformative Pathways initiative, a faculty-led effort to place transformative texts and enduring human questions at the center of the first-year experience and general education curriculum. The project will also develop a set of thematic pathways through general education that connect humanistic inquiry to students’ professional interests and culminate in a certificate.
