Faculty Awarded Prestigious National Endowment for the Humanities Connections Grant

Two accomplished Seton Hall University professors, Abe Zakhem of the College of Arts and Sciences' Department of Philosophy and Elizabeth McCrea of the Stillman School of Business, were recently awarded the prestigious and highly competitive National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Connections planning grant.  The Humanities Connections program seeks to expand the role of the humanities in undergraduate education at two- and four-year institutions. At Seton Hall, the grant will support the development of an innovative "Business Humanities Initiative." This pioneering, interdisciplinary approach will invite faculty and students to integrate humanities and business perspectives in order to illuminate, inform, and passionately try to resolve persistent and emerging ethical and social-political issues in society.
