Year One Microgrant Initiative
Provost's Parable: "I like to picture this work as building a footbridge across a wide river. No single person can span it alone. Each beam requires someone who understands their part of the current, someone who knows where the ground is firm and where it shifts. The bridge only becomes real when many hands contribute their section, working from both banks until the structure meets in the middle."
The Year One Microgrant initiative will help us build that bridge.
