Recipients (2019-2020)
In the previous version of our Thrive grants program, the following instructors received funding to incorporate new transformative learning experiences into their undergraduate courses or partner with undergraduate students around the design or research of their courses. The intent was to support their efforts to create transformative learning experiences that allowed them and their students to interact in meaningful and substantive ways beyond traditional classroom boundaries. Essentially, these grants were meant to help instructors create the conditions that made it more likely for their students to thrive.
