ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF GRANT SUPPORT
The present curriculum of the Science in Society Program was put in
place with the assistance of a grant of $95,000 from 1995-99 for "Developing
an Undergraduate Major in Humanistic Studies of Science." The grant (#
EW-20349-95) was funded through a joint initiative for "Sciences and the
Humanities: Integrating Undergraduate Education) by the National Endowment
for the Humanities and the National Science Foundation. We gratefully acknowledge
the indispensable support of the N.E.H. and the N.S.F.
The Program was originally established through a five year grant from
the National Science Foundation and the Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary
Education in 1975 [History of the Science in Society Program], for which
we remain grateful. We especially appreciate the commitment of these agencies
to continue to foster broader perspectives on the sciences within the undergraduate
curriculum. We respond with a commitment of our own: to continue to rethink
our intellectual commitments and our curriculum so as to sustain our faculty's
and our Program's roles as contributors to better understanding the sciences
as integral components of our world.
