About the Initiative
The Initiative on Leadership and the Liberal Arts is a
collaboration between Claremont McKenna College, Loyola Marymount College and the University of Richmond. The W. M.
Keck Foundation awarded a three-year grant to the Jepson
School of Leadership Studies at the University of Richmond
to manage this partnership to integrate topics of
responsible leadership across liberal arts disciplines. The
three-school collaboration has included the development of Interdisciplinary, team-taught courses, undergraduate
student research, and workshops that provide guidelines for other colleges interested in
incorporating courses or other resources into their
curriculum. Additionally, a volume of essays by leading
educators will be published by Palgrave Macmillan. Leadership and the Liberal
Arts: Achieving the Promise of a Liberal Education will
be co-edited by Michael Genovese of Loyola Marymount
University, Ron Riggio of Claremont McKenna College and
Tom Wren of the University of Richmond. In addition to the
2006 and 2007 workshops, the May 2008 Jepson School Summer
Institute for Leadership and the Liberal Arts will again be
made possible through the generosity of the Keck Foundation.
