NC State Diversity GEP Course Development Fund

We are pleased to announce that the 2011-12 Diversity GEP Course Development Fund attracted many outstanding proposals for courses studying questions of difference and culture in the US. The large response was gratifying and it was exciting to see all the courses being developed. The following courses have been awarded course development funds through this program.

  • ENG 268. Multicultural American Literature. Keely Byars-Nichols
  • HI 453 US-Latin American Relations since 1823. Rich Slatta
  • ENG 267. LGBTQI Literature in the United States. Gene Melton
  • HI 346, 446. Civil War and Reconstruction. Susanna Lee
  • COM 392. International and Cross-Cultural Communication. James Kiwanuka-Tondo
  • T 101. Introduction to the College of Textiles. Liz Moran

The funds available for this program have now been exhausted. However, if you are working on a course proposal we would like to encourage you to contact Carrie Zelna, the Director of Assessment in the Division of Undergraduate Academic Programs, if you would like any help with outcome development or identifying ways to measure outcomes. For more information regarding General Education and the administrative processes, see the Council on Undergraduate Education website.

We thank everyone who inquired about the Diversity GEP Course Development Fund program and who is working on developing a course for the GEP list. These courses will greatly enrich the experience of the students. A university education cannot be complete without serious engagement with diversity.

Although this year's proposal period has ended, you can see the proposal information here.
