The Georgian Faculty Visit is a new initiative in which five faculty members from New Gelati will travel to St. John’s College for a week in September 2010. While at St. John’s, they will attend a week’s worth of classes and seminars, meet formally and informally with professors and students outside of classes, join St. John’s students for luncheons, and give a lecture to the St. John’s community on the history of liberal education in Georgia and state of New Gelati.

Our Goals for the Georgian Faculty Visit include:

1. Providing faculty members a chance to fully immerse themselves in St. John’s College’s discussion-based Great Books curriculum and learning community
2. Encouraging the faculty to further learn about, grow in, and adapt the Great Books model for New Gelati Academy
3. Sparking open dialogue and interest in New Gelati between the St. John’s community and the faculty visitors
4. Encouraging the interest and involvement in OLEG of St. John’s tutors and students

The budget for this program is approximately $15,000. We invite you to support this project and our mission by making a gift.
