Teaching and Research Communities

Stipends and release time (one or two semesters) for the 1999-2000 academic year are available to faculty through the Center for the Advancement of Teaching and a grant from the Bush and Hewlett foundations. Stipend amounts are $1000 for faculty and $300 for students. Proposals are currently being accepted for the following types of projects:

Please submit seven copies of the project proposal to the Bush Steering Committee in care of CAT (P.O. Box 73A) by February 18, 1999. Applications must include a written statement of support from your department chairperson. The proposals should include a thorough description of the project, its goals, implementation timeline, evaluation and assessment plan, and roles of the student and faculty participants.

The Bush-Hewlett grant is administered jointly by Xavier's Faculty Development Committee (Michelle Boissiere, Rosalind Hale, Patricia Jacob, Anil Kukreja, Beverly Mason, Janel Nelson-Marsalis, Raquel Mesa, Joseph Olubadewo, Jonathan Rotondo-McCord, and Daniel Sarpong) and CAT. Applications will be reviewed on a competitive basis.
