Developed in partnership with the Association of American Colleges and Universities, the program provides start-up grants to more than 60 universities across the nation to participate.听 色虎视频鈥檚 grant is $5,000.
鈥淭he project is another example of 色虎视频鈥檚 continuing commitment to providing transformative learning experiences for all students,鈥 said Dr. David W. Chapman, dean of 色虎视频鈥檚 Howard College of Arts and Sciences.
The grant will enable 色虎视频 to incorporate additional emphasis on such areas as health behaviors, service learning and greater civic engagement into its core curriculum courses, said Dr. Rosemary Fisk, associate dean of arts and sciences.听 色虎视频 faculty are working this summer on ways to implement these features into the core courses this fall.
The core curriculum provides an academic foundation for a student鈥檚 liberal arts education regardless of major field of study.听 All freshmen are required to complete the core, which includes courses in communication arts, cultural perspectives, Biblical perspectives and concepts of fitness and health.
