Imagining America Regional Meeting held at VT

March 5, 2009

The Imagining America Regional Meeting was held at Virginia Tech in late February 2009. Imagining America: Artists and Scholars in Public Life is a consortium of eighty-five colleges and universities committed to building democratic culture by fostering public scholarship and practice in the arts, humanities, and design. The one day meeting was facilitated by Tim Eatman, IA Research Director. VTIPG’s director joined representatives from various campuses in the region to identify ways of expanding tenure and promotion policies to acknowledge more fully the value of public scholarship.
