Fran Buntman (Sociology) and Wendy Wagner (Nashman Center) have been selected for the Civic Engagement and Voting Rights Teacher Scholars program (hosted by Clemson University and supported through the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation). They will spend the coming year engaged in nation-wide Faculty Learning Communities, attend an institute and several convenings, and will ultimately create and disseminate educational materials on civic and voting rights education.
