FaCE (Faculty Career Enhancement) Project
Creating and Disseminating Sustained Advances in Liberal Arts Collaboration
Supported by grants from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the ACM Faculty Career Enhancement (FaCE) Project has provided opportunities for faculty at ACM colleges since 2004.
The Project's successful Phase I was designed to address the changing needs of faculty at different stages of their careers.
With renewed funding from the Mellon Foundation in 2008, Phase II of the FaCE Project supports a variety of new initiatives, building on lessons derived in the first years of activity.
Phase II: Fostering and Enhancing Collaboration
|
FaCE Phase II:
- Collaboration
- Sustainability
- Outcomes & Impact
|
The primary goal of Phase II is to foster and enhance the rich collaboration within the ACM, and by doing so, foster collaboration more broadly within higher education by disseminating models and practices discerned through careful evaluation.
The key themes are Collaboration, Sustainability, and Outcomes and Impact. This project seeks to build on the comparative advantage liberal arts colleges have in developing successful models of pedagogical and scholarly collaboration that can transfer to other institutions, both large and small.
In order to achieve these goals, the FaCE Project invites competitive proposals from faculty at ACM colleges, offering funding for research, meetings, development of internet-based outreach tools, or evaluation activities.
