Grant funds Witt mentoring program
Wittenberg University has received a grant for a mentoring program designed to help tenure-track faculty members integrate the university’s mission into their classroom and personal career goals.
The grant, from the Lilly Fellows Program in Humanities and the Arts, will cover the costs incurred in creating the curriculum along with speakers and readings during the two-year program.
Senior faculty members will serve as mentors to the newer faculty helping them understand the values and practices of a small liberal arts university.
“In an institution like Wittenberg, faculty often stay for their whole careers,” Wittenberg’s faculty development board administrator Ty Buckman stated in a university release. “An investment in faculty in the beginning can pay dividends over the next 30 years.”
The Lilly Fellows Program is based at Valparaiso University. It helps church-affiliated higher education institutions strengthen their quality and shape their character by sponsoring various programs.
The Lilly Fellows Mentoring Program strives to renew and deepen the commitment of institutions and their leaders to central intellectual and spiritual concerns.
