Dickinson has received the largest grant from a private foundation in its history, a three-year $1.4 million grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in support of a major College initiative in environmental studies. The grant will fund a director and project monies for a center for environmental and sustainability education, a new faculty position in environmental health and a geographic information systems (GIS) postdoctoral fellow. In accepting the grant, the College agrees to raise matching funds to endow the faculty position long-term and to hire a GIS technician to teach the GIS course and support the post-doc.
