Our Mission
The Paul Peck Humanities Institute enriches the learning and teaching experiences of Montgomery College students and faculty, from all disciplines, through the humanities.
Generating various programs, collaborations and national and local partnerships, the Paul Peck Humanities Institute serves the community by providing growth opportunities and by demonstrating the relevance of the humanities in all areas of life.
The Smithsonian Faculty Fellowships are the product of a unique collaboration between Montgomery College and the Smithsonian Center for Learning and Digital access—the first of its kind between the Smithsonian Institution and a community college.

世界杯摩洛哥vs克罗地亚欧赔蒙哥马利学院每年举办数百场活动，将我们的学生、教师和工作人员聚集在一起，在学术学习和他们生活的更广阔的世界之间建立联系。These events can offer a structured opportunity for participants to relate one subject matter to another, to transfer skills across disciplines and to reflect on how they are changed by participation in the experience.
We’ve developed an “Integrative Learning Calendar” to help faculty, staff and students to know about these tremendous learning opportunities. Nearly all of the events are free of charge and many are open to the general public. As we move forward, events that appear on this calendar will offer participants guidance about related reading and resources and each will have a list of “reflective questions” to spur participants to process the experience more fully. We will also identify those events which qualify for MC’s Multicultural Diversity Designation.
A special note to help us manage events: please contact the “event contact,” (person whose email is listed at the end of an event entry) if you wish to bring an entire class to an event, or if you require disability accommodations.
Why Integrative Learning?
Integrative learning supports student success by enhancing cognitive and metacognitive skills, engagement, and motivation. Integrative Learning fosters life-long learning skills, and emphasizes student-centered applied learning. Montgomery College is striving to offer students more and better opportunities for integrative learning experiences, both inside and alongside our MC classrooms.
Faculty Support for Integrative Learning
Montgomery College’s Integrative Learning Field Guide for Faculty is on on-going collaboration between faculty representing the General Studies Program, The General Education Program and the Integrative Learning Committee at Montgomery College, Maryland. The Field Guide project provides examples of assignments and discussion prompts to foster and promote Integrative Learning at Montgomery College.
