The University of California–Irvine (UCI) has received a $1 million grant from a Philadelphia-based charity to expand a project called Anteater Virtues, which are “curiosity, integrity, humility and tenacity,” to help students develop into more “inquisitive, open-minded and authentic individuals,” officials announced July 19.

The grant comes from John Templeton Foundation, which supports scientific research and philosophical discussions on the “deepest and most perplexing” questions facing humankind, such as evolution, creativity, forgiveness, and free will, according to its website.
