A WORLD-WIDE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

College of Arts and Sciences

The College of Arts and Sciences is in the third and final year of a $205,000 McGregor Fund grant to support A World-Wide Learning Environment. The grant proposes to develop new and innovative ways to build international experiences into the educational lives of Case's undergraduates through travel, the development of international relationships in courses and programs through the use of advanced communication technologies, and innovative teaching and learning initiatives that result in expanded international experiences.

The McGregor Fund grant money will be expended over three academic years, from Fall 2006 through Spring 2009.   Of the total award, $150,000 will be granted directly to faculty in support of proposals that broaden and enhance international experiences by utilizing educational and communication technologies.

     The McGregor Fund is a private foundation organized "to relieve the misfortunes and promote the well-being of mankind." It was established by a $5,000 deed of gift from Tracy W. McGregor in 1925, and later augmented to nearly $10 million through subsequent gifts from Mr. McGregor and his wife, Katherine Whitney McGregor.

     Through their generosity, over the past 80 years the Fund has provided more than $160 million in assistance to organizations serving the metropolitan Detroit area. The Fund conducts a special program of competitive grants for private liberal arts colleges and liberal arts colleges within private universities in Michigan and Ohio.
