Participants
Nearly 700 individuals from across campuses and colleges have participated in the Funded Awards Program.
There have been a total of 13 cohorts since the Funded Awards Program began in 2013. Over time, the program has evolved to encompass both faculty and student participants.
This has proven to be a highly successful collaborative partnership where faculty lead the projects with the commitment to incorporate the e-modules into their courses and consult with students to generate creative ideas; in turn, students offer engagement options and content development skills.
Current Projects & Participants (Cohort 13)
The 2023-2024 cohort features 60 individuals from seven different colleges and the Munroe-Meyer Institute.
