The MHC supports programs that foster intellectual curiosity, critical reflection, and creative innovation. Their work is centered around the belief that studying the humanities inspires compassion across differences, develops empathy, strengthens critical thinking skills, and cultivates the emotional and intellectual agility needed to navigate an increasingly interconnected and complex global landscape. The Center serves as a locus for humanities research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and meaningful conversations among scholars, artists, students and the public through the support of lectures, symposia, panels, performances, and exhibitions, as well as individual and collaborative research of students and faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MHC hosts an annual symposium on diverse topics such as climate change, Vikings, and World War I. They also offer grants to courses, programs, and departments to support projects related to the humanities.
