The grant is part of UNCW’s multi-year fundraising campaign to support students, faculty, programs and facilities. It will involve students, faculty, and student affairs and academic affairs staff interested in developing a university-wide program to enhance civic education through the integration of coursework, applied learning and community research and learning.
The Teagle Foundation works to support and strengthen liberal arts education. Its aim is to serve as a catalyst to improve teaching and learning in the arts and sciences while addressing issues of financial sustainability and accountability in higher education.
