About
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.
