MMC Receives Prestigious $250K Mellon Grant

Marymount Manhattan College is proud to announce that it is the recipient of a $250,000 grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. This two-year grant will support the revitalization of the College’s general education curriculum and enrich the school’s exceptional liberal arts education.

Marymount Manhattan will use the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to establish new systems that will encourage faculty to develop, revise and implement general education courses over the next two years.

By overhauling and improving the liberal arts core that distinguishes Marymount Manhattan, the College will strengthen its efforts to produce well-rounded, educated adults who are both lifelong learners and global citizens.

According to Marymount Manhattan President Judson R. Shaver, Ph.D., “This $250,000 grant will support our faculty members as they examine content, methods, and formats to hone their teaching, carefully and systematically assess what and how students are learning, and engage in curricular revision and innovation. We are deeply grateful to The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
