Liberal Arts Scholarship Catalyst Grants Program
2021 Awards
The six projects funded this year had specific and compelling visions for advancing faculty scholarship, meeting professional goals, and elevating liberal arts scholarship and creative work. They also clearly articulated anticipated contributions to the foundational commitments and research thrusts of the University’s Strategic Vision.
Please join us in congratulating this year’s grant recipients. We are excited about this opportunity to advance liberal arts scholarship and creative work at the University.
