BRCC Division of Liberal Arts

We’re to announce that four Baton Rouge Community College faculty members—Samantha Chaisson, Bea Gyimah, Darren Jones, and Natasha Whitton—have been awarded a two-year fellowship with the Great Questions Foundation, supported by the Mellon Foundation! This program champions core-text reading and discussion-based learning at community colleges nationwide.

We look forward to following their work as they collaborate with faculty from across the country to explore how humanities-based general education serves as a foundation for civic engagement and critical thinking. Stay tuned for updates on their work over the next two years.

❤️It’s time to fall in love with reading again!📕
