Grant Summary
$25,000 over 12 months to develop a Miami-centric canon of significant works of literature to create a common intellectual experience across all sections in a two-semester introductory sequence required of all students in its honors college, which enrolls 40 percent of the incoming class. The second semester of the course will emphasize exploring the local community—Miami’s neighborhoods, museums, theaters, natural environs and built environments—in a manner that is informed by the readings.
