Endowment for a faculty position in Philosophy and Ethics and for a lecture series; direct expenditures for library acquisitions.

The Donnelly College NEH Challenge Grant proposal seeks to ensure high-quality, integrated humanities instruction by endowing a faculty position in Philosophy and Ethics in keeping with our institutional mission, and simultaneously seeks to ensure the future of a significant campus humanities event, the Sister Jerome Keeler Distinguished Lecture Series. Additionally, this proposal seeks to establish a small endowment to support the acquisition of full-text database resources in the humanities, and provides for a small direct expenditure budget to equip the humanities classrooms with instructional technology.
