More by this author

Wabash College in Crawfordsville has received a three-year, $6.2 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. to support the work of the Wabash Center for Teaching and Learning in Theology and Religion through 2015.

Founded on the Wabash campus in 1996 and wholly supported by Lilly Endowment since that time, the Wabash Center enhances and strengthens the quality of teaching in theology and religion.

This is the eighth grant – totaling more than $40 million – Lilly Endowment has awarded to the Wabash Center.

“Wabash College is immensely grateful for Lilly Endowment’s vital and generous support of the Wabash Center for Teaching and Learning in Theology and Religion,” said Wabash President Patrick E. White. “The center continues to be a crucial force in shaping a community of discourse on teaching and learning for hundreds of faculty in theology and religion at the nation’s seminaries, liberal arts colleges, and research universities.”

The Wabash Center provides workshops and discussions for faculty members, supports institutional initiatives that enhance local educational environments, and provides resources for good teaching and effective learning.

Since its founding, more than 900 faculty members have participated in workshops and discussions on the Wabash campus, and the Wabash Center has awarded over 1,000 grants to more than 275 institutions and 500 individuals totaling nearly $12 million.

It has held over 90 conferences on issues of teaching and learning and held 135 teaching consultations on higher education campuses across the United States and Canada.
