Information on a few EEP projects has been added to this web site. You can find it by going to the list of EEP schools.
All of the Poynter Center's web site is under continuous construction, but the EEP page is in very early stages. Keep an eye on this page for ongoing additions and improvements.

After the summer workshop, the teams returned to their own campuses to work on a proposal for improving or increasing the teaching of ethics. The cohort met again in the fall on a campus of one of the participating institutions for a one-day meeting to critique each others' proposals. By the end of the calendar year, proposals were sent to the Lilly Endowment, which had made a commitment to provide up to $10,000 in implementation funds for worthy projects. All 42 institutions submitted proposals; all but one were funded.
Early the following year, a second one-day follow-up meeting was held, to which participants in earlier workshops were also invited. This provided an opportunity for members of different cohorts to meet each other and learn from each other.
We at the Poynter Center were honored to be involved in such a vital project. We were delighted and surprised at the degree to which the program took on a life of its own, and at the depth of commitment demonstrated by participants. Some of the original 126 workshop participants have gone on to other things, but newcomers have been recruited at virtually every EEP campus.
Details about EEP projects undertaken on various campuses will be posted here as time allows.
