Integrating Work-Based Learning into the Humanities Curriculum: the Monarch Humanities Internship Academy and Humanities at Work
Director of High Impact Learning Initiatives in the Office of Academic Success Lanah Stafford, Ph.D. spearheads this work and is tasked with mapping efforts. Director of Faculty Development, MHIA, and Master Lecturer, Department of Communication & Theatre Arts Alison Lietzenmayer works closely with Stafford. This joint approach was selected because curriculum mapping and faculty development are complementary efforts: mapping identifies gaps in the curriculum while development supports program faculty with addressing them.
