Virtues in the Public Square Scholarship
Virtues in the Public Square is an undergraduate certificate program that engages undergraduates in a twelve hour multimedia course. The program explores seven virtues––wisdom, justice, courage, temperance, humility, generosity, and friendship––through the lenses of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This academic, non-sectarian curriculum translates the classical traditions of virtue for modern audiences. Oriented toward service to one another, this course models how humanity’s various spiritual paths can overlap to collectively forge a common good.
CfAH Story Telling Fellows Lab
The Center for the Advancement of the Humanities welcomes applications for its Story Fellows Lab undergraduate initiative. The aim of this initiative is to create a space for community building around shared identities, values, and struggles, as well as to foster the cultivation of storytelling as a community-based healing approach. Through this initiative, the CfAH thus aims to promote a conception of the person as primarily part of a community rather than as an isolated individual.
As part of this initiative, the CfAH offers up to $2,500 to fund Story Fellows teams. These funds may be used in a variety of ways including but not limited to the following: purchasing team supplies, books, providing refreshments, attending cultural activities, and engaging with community partners.
More information on the Story Telling Fellows Lab is provided in the document below.
