Agnes Scott College has received a $1 million pledge from an anonymous alumna and her husband to support faculty, the largest single gift for faculty development in the college’s history. The funds will be used by faculty to pursue significant opportunities for professional renewal that will enhance their teaching and ultimately benefit Agnes Scott students.
"Our faculty are superb teacher-scholars who seek creative ways to integrate their research and teaching and make learning come alive," said Elizabeth Kiss, president of Agnes Scott. "This generous gift will enrich faculty scholarship and teaching and bring wonderful benefits to them, to their students and to our shared intellectual life on campus."
Faculty may use the funds to do everything from visiting scholarly archives to developing a new course to collaborative research projects involving students.
