Innovation Fund Grants Awarded
President
Joanne V. Creighton recently announced the recipients of Mount
Holyoke’s Innovation Fund grants for 2004–2005.
The grants support projects that “stimulate thinking
about the academic, cocurricular, and administrative goals
of The
Plan for Mount Holyoke 2010,” Creighton said. The funding
program is made possible by a generous grant from the Andrew
W. Mellon Foundation. Creighton commended the Academic Priorities
Committee for an excellent job in soliciting Innovation Fund
proposals, selecting recipients, and allocating the available
dollars. The committee had $30,000 to distribute to proposals
totaling $107,000. “The creative and exciting work represented
by these proposals will support the goals and spirit of The
Plan for 2010.”
