A Special Call for Faculty Curricular Collaboration

This year PLIG is focused on faculty proposals that support and engage students in experiential and collaborative learning, either within existing courses, in new courses, or in extra-curricular ways. Possible opportunities include:

1. Creating a community-based learning component for an existing course
2. Developing project-based experiences that engage students from multiple disciplines
3. Teaming with a faculty member in another discipline to design and deliver a course
4. All of the above, simultaneously

The goal is to provide students with experiences that will enhance their development as professionals, and as contributing members of society. Successful PLIG grant applicants will receive support to develop/revise courses during 2009-2010 with a commitment to teach the newly developed/revised course during 2010-11.

Special Consideration will be given to proposals that result in a course that can be offered as part of the Honors Program during the 2010-2011 academic year.

The Provost's Office will grant each award recipient $5,000 to fund faculty initiatives designed to enhance student learning through course enhancement/development. Unlike college FEAD grants which focus on improving teaching and individual faculty expertise, these grants focus on student learning.
