The Lang Center supports faculty, students, and staff with advice and guidance, space for meetings and events, transportation resources, as well as funding for projects, internships, and curricular design. The Lang Center encourages faculty, staff, and students to be involved with surrounding communities both locally and globally, for mutual benefit and reciprocally enriching relationships.

While the Lang Center focuses on student centered projects, there are two faculty oriented grant opportunities:

Curriculum Development Grants:

Curriculum Development Grants support courses that connect students to external communities in direct ways through creation of new courses or enhancement of existing courses. Funds may be used for expenses of developing and/or offering the courses, as well as for costs of re-offering a previously developed course.

The Aydelotte Foundation supports opportunities that wouldn't otherwise have a means of support at the College. The Aydelotte Foundation is particularly interested in initiatives that create a space for faculty learning and engagement; that initiate rigorous and creative conversation and experimentation on the liberal arts; and/or that generally advance liberal arts education in the world at large.

The Digital Humanities Curricular Development Grants are open to faculty teaching classes in any department or discipline. The grants support development in pedagogy with digital or computational tools and platforms, and draw from the humanities and humanistic social sciences. Funded projects range in scope from single assignments to full reworkings of a course’s trajectory, and encourage collaboration with librarians, academic technologists, and language learning experts.
