Whittier Scholars Program Recieves $90,000 Grant ■ GRANTS by Steve Alvarado QCAsst. News Editor The Whittier Scholars Program will re- cei ve a $90,000 grant from the Hewlett Foundation over the course of two years. The grant is set to evaluate and revise the new interdisciplinary seminars, implement a series of faculty workshops, broaden the off- campus experience for students in the program to study aboard or obtain internships and strength the Scholar's community through yearly retreats, according to Director ofWhit- tier Scholars Program Joyce Kaufman. "[The] grant will allow the scholars Program to do things that could not be done without the funding," Kaufman said. Cunently, the Scholars Program holds four interdisciplinary seminars, which were adopted as part ofthe course in 1997, for students enrolled. Part ofthe grant will assist administrators for the Scholars program to recognize whether these four seminars meet the expectations ofthe program board. The grant also includes funding for faculty workshops. Kaufman, in collaboration with Head ofthe Faculty Teaching Committee Gregory Woirol, will begin a series of Wardman Hall. informal workshops meetings that will be implemented in the spring semester. "The purpose of this workshop is to get a better sense of knowing the students," Kaufman said. As part of this workshop, Kaufman will seek the aid of first year students in order to get a better understanding concerning student issues. However, a decision for this has not been reached and will be discussed by the Whittier Scholars Council on Thursday, Sept. 30. Kaufman hopes that by fitting feedback from freshmen, the Scholars Program will be able to comprehend students' needs. With the new fiinding, Kaufman hopes to begin foreign studies and internship programs for students in the Scholars Program. A campus coordinator will work with students in the program and, through Career Services, to find appropriate internships built into a student's educational design. "An important part ofthe Whittier Scholars seminars are to build students into their educational design," Kaufman said. "By having a coordinator, students will be directed onto off campus internships or study abroad Dr. Joyce Kaufman. programs that fit into their majors." There is currently a search for the campus being coordinator conducted by members of the Whittier Scholars Council, and it has not been determined when the position will be filled. Kaufman feels that the Hewlett Foundation grant will be advantageous to the Whittier Scholars Program. "The benefit of the grant is greater, not only for [the program], but for the whole College through faculty workshops for teaching and pedagogy," Kaufman said.
