This is a four-year, grant-funded position supported by a multi-year grant from the Lilly Endowment but will be considered for funding beyond the initial term. Wake Forest University is a private, coeducational institution dedicated to academic excellence in liberal arts, graduate, and professional education. Located in Winston-Salem, NC (“The City of Arts and Innovation”), the University has a deep institutional commitment to public service and engagement with the world, as indicated by the motto Pro Humanitate (for humanity), which encourages students to develop the qualities of human character needed to serve humanity. With the aim to educate the whole person, the University has established an innovative Program for Leadership and Character that plans creative programming and courses to help students develop the character needed to lead inclusively in an increasingly complex world. The Program is based on cutting-edge academic research on leadership and character, including research conducted by Wake Forest faculty in various fields who are leading experts on the study of character.
Over the last few years, the Program has received major grants and contributions to develop leaders of character at Wake Forest and support other colleges and universities who seek to promote leadership and character on their campuses. A $30 million grant from the Lilly endowment is now supporting a significant expansion of work to external partner institutions. The Educating Character Initiative will enable Wake Forest to become the hub of a national network aimed at empowering and equipping other colleges and universities to educate character in their contexts. These efforts will include support for major conferences and convenings on character; character-related resources that faculty and staff can use to design and deliver courses and programming; and grants to facilitate this work at other institutions.
