Mindich Program in Engaged Scholarship (MPES) Faculty Curricular Innovation Awards

Mindich Program in Engaged Scholarship (MPES) Faculty Curricular Innovation Awards fund the development of undergraduate courses that integrate civic and community engagement into undergraduate education through an emphasis on collaboration, public engagement, and civic purpose—an intention to contribute to the world beyond the self. The MPES invites proposals for courses that are community engaged, feature assignments in collaboration with groups/organizations, or include substantive public-facing components, and may encompass student directed/independent projects or faculty directed projects. Proposals may be for the development of new courses, as well as for the substantive redesign of existing courses, and may be departmental, general education, or a freshman seminar.
