BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Whatcom Community College was awarded a $100,000 grant from the highly-competitive National Endowment for the Humanities.
The college was awarded the grant for a project called “Situating Ourselves in the Salish Sea,” which will leverage digital mapping technology to investigate and contextualize the cultural heritage of the Salish Sea region.
The project will include creation of digital story maps and a series of new cross-discipline Salish Sea courses.
WCC has received numerous federal grants in the recent years, but this is the college’s first National Endowment for the Humanities award.
