Opportunities

Faculty

For the next three years, funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to Macalester’s Institute for Global Citizenship (IGC) will expand the number of FACT awards by funding an additional 3-6 courses (6-12 faculty) per year.  Specifically, the IGC’s Renewed Purpose award includes support for the development and team-teaching of novel courses that investigate diversity, from a national or international perspective, or both. As a result, these efforts will expand the offerings for students to complete the U.S. Identities and Differences (USID) or Internationalism general education requirements. The deadline for applications is Monday, October 30 at 5:00PM. Please complete the Google Form Application.
