Innovative Project Grants
Coming Soon
With the reorganization and creation of the new People Strategy, Equity, and Culture Division, the Culture Transformation and Development Department (CTD) is in the process of reimagining how we will best support a culture of learning and development in a more strategically aligned way. We are currently collaborating with our partners and end-users to ensure that we are able to provide a College-wide grants program that is aligned with CTD’s charge of fostering a culture that reinforces principles of belonging, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
Please check back for updates on this particular program.
Opportunities for Conference/Workshop funding are currently available through Perkins grants. Eligible staff may also have additional funding opportunities available to them here.
Should you have additional questions/feedback, kindly email us.

Summer/Fall 2022
Culturally Responsive Teaching in Art History
(Christine Weber, Elizabeth Bilyeu, Julianne Sandlin, Kelsey Ferreira, Alina Egland, Luke Peterson, Graham Bell, Anna Truxes)
A team of art historians are revising the Western Art Survey into a Global Art Survey that will decenter Western narratives, examine the relationship between art history and colonization, and honor the experiences and knowledge of all cultures as central to the story of human creativity. In conjunction with this curriculum work, faculty will take a critical look at outcomes, assessment strategies, and methods of engagement with the goal of building resources for use, not only in the new Global Art Survey but in other art history courses taught. This series of workshops will allow faculty to draw on resources at the college, including each other, along with learning from experts in the fields of critical pedagogy and global art history.
