Wayne State College has been awarded a $50,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) for the creation of a new interdisciplinary minor.

The project, “Creating a Minor: Regional Awareness and Social Dynamics,” is a one-year project designed to create an interdisciplinary minor that would help students understand the changing cultures of their region.

According to the award letter, support for the project comes in part from NEH’s “American Tapestry: Weaving Together Past, Present, and Future,” a special initiative that leverages the humanities to strengthen democracy, advance equity for all and address the changing climate.
