The Morven Project
Focusing on teaching, research, outreach, The Morven Project reflects the University of Virginia’s strategic priorities for global education, science and technology, and enhancement of the student experience.
Programming for Spring 2009 was influenced by prior proposals submitted by University faculty; interviews with administrators, faculty, students, and staff, and current faculty projects. Eleven pilot-projects were initially created in the Spring 2009 to test interest in specific topics and the use of Morven facilities. Designed to engage vital parts of the property, groupings include “Morven Archaeological Survey Team;” “Mapping Morven;” “International Outreach;” “Leadership Development” and “Gardens.”
Approximately 60 events are currently scheduled for the 2009-2010 academic year at Morven.
