UMass Cornerstone Initiative
About
The Cornerstone Initiative is a curriculum reform initiative designed to revitalize the role of humanities in general education.
The Cornerstone Initiative reimagines the role of the humanities in general education at UMass Amherst. Our mission is to provide students with a solid academic foundation to recognize and value the connections between humanities studies and their personal and professional goals.
Teagle Grant Supports Cornerstone Initiative
Within a two-year span, a new Teagle grant will help install a program of curricular reform that will build – through a renewed richer, and more meaningful engagement with the humanities.
