Overview In 2006, the Mellon Foundation awarded the Mellon 23, a group of twenty-three liberal arts colleges (see list of institutions below), a Faculty Career Enhancement Program (FCE) grant . This grant will fund collaborative initiatives that support faculty in their scholarly and creative work and that aid faculty in gaining a broader view of their institutions and of the pressing challenges facing American liberal arts colleges. The proposal to the Foundation had two components: the continuation and broadening of opportunities for the already successful collaborative workshops that were occurring in smaller cohorts and the creation of Mellon Assemblies.
