Codrington Foundation Helps Bring the Best to SAGES
Thanks to a grant from the George W. Codrington Charitable Foundation, support for fellowships in SAGES (the Seminar Approach to General Education and Scholarship), sponsored ten of the fellows recruited to lead University Seminars during the 2006-2007 academic year for Case’s signature undergraduate program.
Although Case faculty teach the majority of SAGES courses, a number of University Seminars are offered each year by visiting fellows. These include guest scholars from other universities (SAGES Fellows) as well as distinguished professionals from the Cleveland area (Presidential Fellows).
Visiting fellows have included Stephen Brand, Chief Imagination Officer, OneCleveland; Carter Edman, designer, Collins Gordon Bostwick Architects; Lee Fisher, former state attorney general; Sam Fulwood III, metro columnist for The Plain Dealer; Linda M. Garverick, management consultant; and Freda J. Levenson, president, Shaker Heights school board. The fellows programs have even offered alumni the opportunity to participate in undergraduate education at Case.
Zachary Lewis, CAS ’98, a freelance arts critic, served as a Presidential Fellow last spring. In his seminar, “Everyone’s a Critic,” undergraduates refined their ability to write and converse critically, accurately, concisely, and insightfully about the arts. Students attended local theater productions, films, art exhibitions, classical music concerts, and dance events.
The Codrington Foundation has been a longtime sponsor of key initiatives at Case, including the 2005-2006 Codrington-SAGES Partnership Program, which supported student visits to cultural and scientific institutions in University Circle and greater Cleveland.
