Faith and the Liberal Arts

Contact Ernest Simmons, Director, Dovre Center for Faith and Learning (x3430), if interested in the following programs:

Faculty Mentoring Program in Faith and Learning:  Newer faculty and administrative staff are invited to explore connections between faith and learning within their own work at the college.  Following a two-day workshop in August, the group meets on a monthly basis throughout the year, developing individual projects based in their own disciplines; these projects are presented in a final one-day workshop.  Participants receive honoraria of $600.

Faith and Learning Lectureship:  This program celebrates faculty explorations of the interactions between faith and learning in a particular discipline; lecturers receive a $2,000 stipend.

Faculty Study Grants in Faith and Learning:  Grants of $500 to $1,000 to support faculty exploring the interactions of faith and learning in their disciplines.

Faculty Discussion Group Grants:  Grants of $500-$750 are offered in support of explorations among peers of the relationship between faith and disciplinary concerns.

Introduction to Faith and Learning in Higher Education Workshop:  This workshop considers how Christian faith affects the way a church-related college approaches the liberal arts.  Participation is by invitation; participants receive stipends of $100 per day.

Conference Support:  Faculty registration for Charis Ecumenical Center activities as well as other conferences that connect faith and learning is available to all faculty and administrative staff.
