The University of Evansville's Lisa Kretz has been named
a National Endowment for the Humanities
Summer Scholar.
Kretz, an assistant professor of philosophy, was chosen from a national applicant pool. The endowment is a federal agency that hosts enrichment opportunities at colleges, universities and cultural institutions. The faculty can collaborate and study with experts in humanities disciplines.
Each scholar receives a stipend of $3,300 to cover travel, study and living expenses.
Kretz will participate in the summer institute titled “Moral Psychology and Education: Putting the Humanities to Work,” a four-week program at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan. The program is co-directed by Youngstown State University religion and philosophy professor Deborah Mower and Grand Valley State philosophy professor Phyllis Vandenberg.
