Support

Supported by the Teagle Foundation and the American Civic Life Infusion Initiative earned by Nancy Murray, Assistant Professor, Community College of Baltimore County.

The Teagle Foundation works to support and strengthen liberal arts education, which we see as fundamental to meaningful work, effective citizenship, and a fulfilling life. Our aim is to serve as a catalyst for the improvement of teaching and learning in the arts and sciences while addressing issues of financial sustainability and accountability in higher education.
