FaCE (Faculty Career Enhancement) Project

Creating and Disseminating Sustained Advances in Liberal Arts Collaboration


 

FaCE Phase II:

  • Collaboration
  • Sustainability
  • Outcomes & Impact

The ACM Faculty and Career Enhancement (FaCE) Project has been supported by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation since Fall 2004. The Project's successful Phase I wrapped up with several workshops in April 2008. In the meantime, FaCE Project Phase II has begun. A $600,000 grant to extend the project from the Andrew Mellon Foundation supports a new phase of research, workshops, and conferences that builds on lessons derived in the first years of activity.

 

The primary goal of Phase II of the FaCE project is to foster and enhance the rich collaboration within the ACM, and by doing so, foster collaboration more broadly within higher education by disseminating models and practices discerned through careful evaluation.

 

Next Deadline for Proposals:
November 17, 2008

The key themes of Phase II are Collaboration; Sustainability; Outcomes and Impact. This project seeks to build on the comparative advantage liberal arts colleges have in developing successful models of pedagogical and scholarly collaboration that can transfer to other institutions, both large and small.

As Phase I of the FaCE Project and other ACM projects have demonstrated, ACM colleges have a productive history of consortial collaboration, making them particularly well suited to develop cross-institutional models of collaboration. By developing networks and tools that support collaboration, by carefully evaluating results, and by promulgating findings and best practices resulting from the projects, the ACM can meet the Mellon Foundation's challenge to sustain faculty development opportunities provided by the FaCE grant beyond the period of funding.
