Florida Southern College professors
awarded course development grant

LAKELAND, Fla. (July 3, 2001) — Florida Southern College has received a $10,000 course development award from the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences (CTNS), which is funded by the John Templeton Foundation.

The award was presented to FSC professors Dr. Nancy Morvillo and Dr. Sara Fletcher-Harding for their proposed course "Dialogues in Science and Religion," an honors course they will be teaching this fall.

FSC received one of only 100 worldwide grants that the Foundation awards for outstanding courses in science and religion.

The course award winners attend a six-day workshop during the summer on faculty/course development, with travel and registration expenses paid by CTNS.

"This is wonderful news," FSC President Thomas L. Reuschling said. "It is rewarding to have two of our colleagues recognized by the Templeton Foundation, and the honors course should be a great experience for our students."
