WashU Leads and the Bauer Leadership Center will provide grants to support faculty to innovate in research and education.
As a start, in Spring 2024, we will provide educational grants to support tenure track and teaching track faculty to develop a new course or add a module to an existing course on relevant topics. The focus for this round will be undergraduate courses which involve first year students for the 2024–25 academic year.
We encourage proposals from any discipline. Sample topics with focus on self-discovery and insights:
- Purpose and its implications for one’s life and career
- Understanding and developing one’s strengths and character, to grow as a leader
- Exploring leaders and the meaning for oneself
- Exploring values, and how to use them to have positive impact
- Developing ethical thinking and the capacity to use it
You may already be teaching a course that includes these topics. If so, we are interested in how you will bring the topic to the forefront.
