Lewis & Clark receives a grant from the A.W. Mellon Foundation

Lewis & Clark's College of Arts & Sciences received a four-year grant of $800,000 from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to support curricular and scholarly initiatives in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. The flexible faculty development program described in the proposal addresses the needs of mid-career faculty members by providing: (i) enhanced support for research and sabbatical leaves, (ii) funds for student-faculty research collaborations and visiting lecturer fellowships, and (iii) a seminar series to foster interdisciplinary teaching and research, and the implementation of team-taught courses. When added to a recent grant of $450,000 (also from the A.W. Mellon Foundation) to support teaching post-doctoral fellows, this new grant provides a total of $1,250,000 of on-going external support for the humanities and humanistic social sciences in the College of Arts & Sciences.
