Mission Scholars Program

 
The Division of Mission and Ministry is happy to sponsor a new program for faculty.  The Faculty Scholars for Mission program’s purpose is to provide support for faculty academic projects related to mission and to provide a forum for those projects to be shared with the Gonzaga community.  The program will provide an opportunity for Gonzaga to further and foster a creative academic community related to the university mission.

Mission related academic projects supported will further the faculty member’s own formation in the mission and contribute to the formation of community members as well.  This will enrich the understanding of the mission in our community.

Outcomes/Expectations:

• An academic project (research or creative inquiry) that intentionally enhances mission efforts of an academic or intellectual kind at Gonzaga and that would have relevance for other Jesuit institutions
• An end-of-project presentation or event open to the Gonzaga community that shares the project and what has been learned about mission from it
• A written report or presentation that can be archived and possibly used in future mission education events

Calls for Proposals will be made to the faculty via the Morning Mail once a year.

Please contact Dr. Ellen M. Maccarone, Faculty Advisor to the President at 509-313-6136 or maccarone@gonzaga.edu for more information.
