NSU Center for the Humanities gets $5,000 grant

The NSU Center for the Humanities recently received $5,000 “Greater Good in Academia” grant from the Florida Humanities Council.  Florida Humanities receives and disperses funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Greater Good in Academia grant supports Florida universities and colleges that are developing community programming aimed at broadening the public’s awareness of the humanities.

The grant will help fund the Center’s annual Hispanic Heritage month series from September 15 to October 6; additional funding support comes from the Halmos College of Arts and Sciences. The series aims to foster cultural connections and appreciation of the diverse Hispanic communities of south Florida, and this year’s theme is “Generaciones:  Cycles of Life,” focusing on how the joys and sorrows of life’s transitions generate new growth.  Weekly events will include Hispanic genealogy, local intergenerational businesses, Day of the Dead, and a keynote event featuring presidential inaugural poet and memoirist, Richard Blanco.  For more information about the series, please contact Dr. Marlisa Santos, Director of the Center for the Humanities, at santosm@nova.edu.
