Receipt Deadline October 5, 2016 for Projects Beginning May 2017

Brief Summary

Humanities Connections grants seek to expand the role of the humanities in the undergraduate curriculum at two- and four-year institutions, offering students in all academic fields new opportunities to develop the intellectual skills and habits of mind that the humanities cultivate. Grant projects focus on connecting the resources and perspectives of the humanities to students’ broader educational and professional goals, regardless of their path of study. Through this new grant program, NEH invites proposals that reflect innovative and imaginative approaches to preparing students for their roles as engaged citizens and productive professionals in a rapidly changing and interdependent world.

Update & Opportunity to Blog with CCHA!

Fellow friends and humanists,

I am writing to you to inform you about some updates in addition to offering you an opportunity that will be mutually beneficial!  For starters, we now have a fully functional LinkedIn page, Facebook page, Twitter account, and a blog.  Please see the links to these below and note that we would love you to “like us” and “follow us” if you are willing and able to do so.

I also wanted to mention an opportunity that goes along with this: publishing something to our blog.  The blog posts need not be overtly scholarly, though they also may be.  You can write up an opinion piece, a “hot topic” or trend in the humanities, something you did in the classroom, or even something that may be a thought provoking conversation starter.
