CANTON -- St. Lawrence University has been awarded a grant of $700,000 from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, New York City, in support of a five-year project titled “Crossing Boundaries: Re-envisioning the Humanities for the 21st Century.”
With the grant support, the university plans to develop new cross-departmental collaborations, with a goal of strengthening and affirming the centrality of the humanities to the contemporary liberal arts curriculum.
Specifically, the project will assist faculty in development of interdisciplinary courses and research projects; train and support staff in digital technologies for the creation of research and learning environments; expand opportunities for experiential learning and off-campus study; aid in developing new upper-level courses following up on experiential learning and off-campus study; and create a model of faculty-student collaboration that works effectively across the humanities.
