Congratulations to Dr. Anne Shaffer, who was awarded a $2,500 Innovation in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences Multicultural Curriculum Grant, one of two awards given for the 2017-2018 academic year. The goal of the award is to support and encourage faculty to develop new courses that would be appropriate for the college’s multicultural curriculum or to significantly revise existing courses in order to be included in the multicultural curriculum. This award can also be used to engage in diversity innovation in the graduate curriculum as well. Great work, Dr. Shaffer!
