\"\"<\/a>Those who visit Allegheny College\u2019s Henderson Campus Center, even on a daily basis, may not know that the building recently gained an exciting new addition: a state-of-the-art, high-efficiency kiln that broadens the opportunities available to ceramics students.<\/p>\n

Allegheny received a $21,375 grant from the Windgate Foundation to support the purchase of this kiln, which replaces a 48-year-old alpine-gas kiln.<\/p>\n

Assistant Professor of Art Ian Thomas, whose work focuses on ceramics, says the new kiln is an impactful investment in our Allegheny community. Interest in ceramics has grown in recent years, he says, with the ceramics department serving about 15% of Allegheny\u2019s student population, either through classes or through Allegheny\u2019s ceramics club, the Clay Club.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new kiln will open up many opportunities to ceramics students,\u201d says Thomas. \u201cIt is more technical than the kiln it is replacing. It also has more options, like reduction firings, which change the chemical composition of the clay and glaze and, in turn, change the appearance of the ceramics. The biggest difference, however, is in size — its large size enables it to fit larger pieces, which gives students more options, and therefore gives them more room for creativity with their projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last semester, Raina Semenick \u201923, a chemistry major and art minor, demonstrated the unique projects students can create when given creative license and the appropriate resources. She combined her academic interests, exploring the connections between science and art, and researched and developed a new type of glaze that creates stunning crystal formations beneath the surface. \u201cI\u2019ve definitely brought the science aspect into the studio,\u201d says Semenick. \u201cAllegheny gives students the flexibility to show their creativity in that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to having access to the new kiln and the ability to create unique pieces, advanced ceramics students also learn how to fire the kiln, which is an important lesson. \u201cKnowing how to fire a gas kiln is a usable skill, especially if students go on to work in another studio,\u201d says Thomas. \u201cIt will also increase students\u2019 confidence; it is empowering to be a young maker and know that you can use this large equipment. It demystifies it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new kiln also helps the Art Department align more closely with Allegheny\u2019s campus-wide values and philosophies, namely our commitment to sustainability. \u201cThis kiln is much more energy-efficient than the kiln it is replacing,\u201d says Thomos. \u201cThis helps the college lower its carbon footprint.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allegheny College\u2019s Office of Foundation & Corporate Relations<\/strong> (FCR) works to secure grants for the college and its faculty and staff from foundations, corporations and government agencies. We can help you to identify funding sources, prepare proposals and manage grants once funding has been received.<\/p>\n

Because grants are typically made to the institution rather than the individual faculty member or employee, Allegheny acts as the fiscal agent and is responsible for ensuring that the terms of the award are fulfilled. In addition, the FCR office works to ensure that all approaches from Allegheny to funding sources are coordinated. For these reasons, please contact the FCR office about all requests for external funding. Check our website<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n

Even if the grant or award is made directly to the faculty member, if there is any commitment on the part of the college, such as funding for release time, equipment, course or program development or modification, institutional financial match or cost sharing, etc., the FCR office will help to coordinate the approval process.<\/p>\n

The following list includes a wide variety of fellowships and grants that might be of interest to Allegheny faculty. We look forward to working with you on your grant proposal.<\/p>\n

George A. and Eliza Gardner Howard Foundation<\/strong><\/a> is administered at Brown University. The foundation awards a limited number of fellowships each year for independent projects in selected fields, targeting its support specifically to early mid-career individuals who have completed at least one major project and demonstrate potential to be future leaders in their fields. Fellowship funds may be used in combination with sabbatical leaves or other sources of support, but this is not a requirement.<\/p>\n

Library Company of Philadelphia<\/strong><\/a> and<\/strong><\/a> The Historical Society of Pennsylvania<\/strong><\/a> jointly award one-month fellowships for research in residence in either or both collections during each academic year. These two independent research libraries, adjacent to each other in Philadelphia, have complementary collections capable of supporting research in a variety of fields and disciplines relating to the history of America and the Atlantic world from the 17th through the 19th centuries, as well as Mid-Atlantic regional history to the present.<\/p>\n

The James McKeen Cattell Fund<\/strong><\/a> supports the science and application of psychology. The fund offers a program of supplementary sabbatical awards, James McKeen Cattell Fund Fellowships, to supplement regular sabbatical allowance provided by recipients’ home institutions.<\/p>\n

Research Corporation for Science Advancement<\/strong><\/a> is a foundation providing catalytic funding for innovative scientific research and the development of academic scientists. It offers different programs of research support including the Cottrell Scholar (CS) program that honors and helps to develop outstanding teacher-scholars who are recognized by their scientific communities for the quality and innovation of their research programs and their potential for academic leadership. The CS program champions the very best early career teacher-scholars in chemistry, physics and astronomy by providing significant discretionary awards for research. Nurturing an interdisciplinary community of outstanding scientific\/educational\/academic leaders, the CS program fosters synergy among faculty at major U.S. and Canadian research universities and primarily undergraduate institutions. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whitehall Foundation<\/strong><\/a>, <\/u><\/strong>through its program of grants and grants-in-aid, assists scholarly research in the life sciences. It is the foundation’s policy to assist those dynamic areas of basic biological research that are not heavily supported by federal agencies or other foundations with specialized missions. The foundation emphasizes the support of young scientists at the beginning of their careers and productive senior scientists who wish to move into new fields of interest. Consideration is given, however, to applicants of all ages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
