Catholic intellectual insights and values should live vibrantly in the core curricula of Catholic colleges and universities. This confluence of mission and academic core should be actively promoted and sustained, and if the core has become merely a checklist of distribution requirements, if graduates are unable to articulate discoveries of any lasting significance from their experience of the core curriculum, then the core needs to be revived. It needs to be activated. The present proposal is for a faculty development project to activate the core curriculum at UIW and to do this as a work of sacramental imagination.
