If you have an idea you have wanted to try, seen something at a conference, or know of something another campus is finding successful, please apply for this funding. The fund is to help you implement new ideas. Faculty may need time to prepare for these courses, hire outside help, buy equipment, or may need to visit a college where the idea has been successful. The committee will give preference to department and cross department projects. Students sign up for all three.
Students take all three of the courses.
The theme in this community might focus on Women's Issues. The readings, research assignments, speeches, etc will center around these issues - and the students may study together and work in groups on projects and special assignments. The history classes may want to work on a living history project where students gather information about the community. This information could be put into a website. A project like this may grow from one semester to another.
