Eisenhower Grant integrates arts into the K-12 Curriculum in local schools

Mark Sullivan, professor of composition, received his third federally funded Eisenhower Teacher Development Grant in 2003 to continue a program called "The Creative Process: Using Artist Residencies and Technology to Model Ways of Integrating the Arts into the Curriculum." The grant amount increased from $40,000 to $99,200 for the 2003-04 academic year. The project involves using artist residencies to model ways of integrating the arts into the K-12 curriculum in Lansing-area schools. Artists interact with students and teachers, providing performances and creating works with them.
