Yes We Must Coalition

Grant Summary

$44,000 over nine months to the Yes We Must Coalition, a consortium of independent, non-profit colleges and universities where Pell-eligible students are the majority of the undergraduate enrollment. A subset of four members – College of Saint Elizabeth, Keuka College, Coker College, and Bacone College– will participate in a planning process under the “Liberal Arts and the Professions” initiative. In 2016, business majors at these colleges ranged from ten to thirty percent of the graduating class. The participating business programs seek to infuse the humanities and social sciences in their curricula and model integrative learning strategies for their fellow members participating in the consortium.
