New Jersey Campus
Diversity Initiative
The Bildner Grant
The New Jersey Campus Diversity
Grant is funded by the Bildner Foundation and directed by The
Philanthropic Institute (TPI) and the Association of American Colleges
and Universities (AACU.) Rowan University is one of eight New Jersey
institutions of higher education to receive this award. This grant will
support the development of challenging interdisciplinary team taught
courses for entering students, which will provide an opportunity for
Rowan University students, in their earliest tenure, to experience the
complexity surrounding issues about
democracy and diversity. This is a very timely issue given the
events of the past year and the changing demographics of New Jersey.
Dr.
Tahamont is a member of Project Kaleidoscope's Faculty for the 21st
Century.
This year's national assembly was held at University of
Wisconson-Madison. It is sponsored by UWM and Promega.
Rowan University is fortunate to participate in the New Jersey Campus Diversity Grant, funded
by the Bildner Foundation, and directed by AAC&U and the
Philanthropic Institute (TPI.) This grant will allow Rowan Faculty to
develop and
offer new interdisciplinary, team taught courses that address issues
of democracy and diversity.
Dr.
Tahamont was one of the principal investigators on the grant "Women
and Scientific Literacy: Building Two-Way Streets" funded by the Association of American Colleges and
Universities (AAC&U). Please see the research
seminar page for all of the work we have been doing for our
grant "Bridging the Gap: Women's Studies and the Sciences"
Rowan University was fortunate to be selected as one of
the participants in the Boundaries and Borderlands III: The Search for
Recognition and Community in America, funded by the William and Flora
Hewlett Foundation. As a member of the Rowan University team,
Dr. Tahamont attended an intensive summer workshop, held at Brown
University,
to work on our project "Weaving Threads of Personal Identity and
Community
into the Multilayered Quilt called America."
