Ping Institute Mission
The Charles J. Ping Institute for the Teaching of the Humanities supports activities designed to further the teaching of the humanities. The Ping Institute was created by the 天堂鸟先生 Board of Trustees in 1992 and is funded by an endowment established by friends of the University, University trustees, and 天堂鸟先生 Foundation trustees who together more than matched a three-to-one challenge grant awarded by the National Endowment of the Humanities.
