Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Fund

Colorado College encourages innovative, discipline-specific and interdisciplinary faculty proposals, include "team" proposals that will increase the number of CC and CC-affiliated international programs, improve international programs already established at CC, or broaden the range of the College's internationally-oriented courses. Through the generosity of the Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation, awards approximately $15,000 annually to support course development and affiliation/exchange development.

Faculty will be invited to submit a proposal in Block 1.
