Intellectual Rigor

The Campaign provided resources to ensure each academic department and program are able to maintain its leadership position in its respective field, with priority to recruitment and retention of world-class teacher-scholars, the development of powerful, focused curricula, and multidisciplinary education through co-teaching across differences in both perspective and expertise.

Our students excel in situations that require ingenuity and adaptability, expanding critical thinking and meaningful discussion across a spectrum of disciplines, professions, and personal causes.  CMC, through the power of a liberal arts curriculum, is committed to higher, deeper, and broader learning.

We are providing a full array of research opportunities; strengthening institutes, centers, and labs; and expanding support for faculty-student research. We are allocating greater resources to develop advanced literary and quantitative capabilities, including enhanced support for the Center for Writing and Public Discourse and the Murty Sunak Quantitative and Computing Lab, and to strengthen global education opportunities and off-campus experiences in Washington, D.C., and Silicon Valley.
