In 1986, a trip
to Manchester, England, was instrumental in defining the curriculum for the
precursor to today's Modernity course. In 1998, members traveled to
Madrid, Granada, and Seville, Spain, to examine the intersections of Islamic,
Christian, and Jewish traditions. In 2002, faculty gained a stronger
understanding of classical culture through travel to Rome. And
trips to East Asia in 2004, 2005, and 2008, sponsored by the Freeman
Foundation, supported course development across the curriculum.
Now, with resources from the Mellon Foundation and Colgate President
Jeffrey Herbst, faculty will travel to India from December 31 through January
13, as a means of enriching the Core Curriculum.
