Hagan Foundation Center for the Humanities

Spokane Community College

The Hagan Foundation Center for the Humanities is dedicated to integrating liberal arts and humanities with the technical programs offered at Spokane Community College. The Center is also a significant way for SCC to contribute to the community's cultural life. The Hagan Foundation Center for the Humanities is a place where a community of minds can gather to explore various perspectives and ideas.

The Center’s mission is to: - Infuse liberal arts and humanities across the campus curriculum. - Create a humanities-based model for academic inquiry. - Instill critical thinking skills and an appreciation for the humanities in SCC students. - Raise community awareness of the scope and variety of campus programs. - Enrich the community with humanities offerings. - Foster a life-long love of literacy and learning.

The center is funded by a growing Community Colleges of Spokane Foundation Endowment. The endowment campaign, which has been generously supported by the community, has been augmented by a National Endowment for the Humanities (matching) Challenge Grant. The foundation received a substantial gift from the Hagan Foundation for which the center is named.
