Mission
Statement
The mission of the MU Center for Arts and Humanities (CAH) is to nurture disciplinary and interdisciplinary research, teaching, and public performance in the humanities and all the arts. Through its programs and activities, the Center seeks to contribute to the intellectual, creative and cultural life of the University and the State of Missouri by promoting and celebrating innovation and excellence in the humanities and all the arts. The Center achieves these goals through its support of scholarly, educational and public outreach activities.
The Center also promotes excellence in research and creative endeavors through technical support for grant writing. It collaborates whenever possible with the community at large to bring interesting and meaningful programs to diverse constituencies.
The Center thus complements the work of humanities and arts departments, programs, and other centers within the University by providing additional resources to faculty, staff, and students and by facilitating new collaborations within the University and the surrounding community. |
