September 15, 1999 - MnSCU Center Receives $325,000 Kellogg
Grant
The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Center for Teaching and
Learning has been awarded a $325,000 grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation
of Battle Creek, Michigan, to develop a series of leadership workshops
for MnSCU faculty and administration. The workshops will provide opportunities
for study and training in transformational leadership, particularly in
the areas of curriculum, assessment, enrollment, technology and international
education. The two-year project will include an in-depth research project
on a specific problem or issue identified by the participant, a year-long
mentorship program within which participants will explore the identified
problem and participation in workshops created to facilitate dialogue
and understanding of higher education challenges and issues.
The W.K. Kellogg Foundation was established in 1930 to help people help
themselves through the practical application of knowledge and resources
to improve their quality of life and that of future generations.
The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system is made up of 36
state universities, community and technical colleges and a campus in Japan.
The system serves approximately 230,000 students a year with a fall 1998
enrollment of about 140,000.
