Froula Receives Grant For Veteran to Scholar Boot Camp

Dr. Anna Froula has been awarded, with Dr. Sheena Eagan (Brody School of Medicine), a large grant from North Carolina Humanities Council. With cost-sharing support from THCAS and Brody, as well as with the Mason Fund, this grant will support the seventh iteration of the Veteran to Scholar Boot Camp in August 2023, which aims to build community and understanding by cultivating discussions about war experience through the study of humanities texts. Simultaneously, the program prepares these students for academic success through an orientation to student services on campus, while also providing unique opportunities to gain comfort in the classroom setting and develop important scholarly skills (such as reflective writing, critical reading, and thinking skills).
