Examples of the sort of activities we envision include the publication of a collection of student papers, travel to a museum or other field trip, or an overnight seminar at a local retreat center. These funds may not be used to pay for materials for course projects nor for visits of outside speakers.
Preference will be given to initiatives and activities for which there is not already support in departmental budgets or endowed funds. If initiatives are successful and are to be regularly repeated, continued funding should be requested as part of the departmental/program budget process. Under normal circumstances this fund will support an activity no more than two times.
Normally these requests should not exceed $800.
Applications will be accepted at any time, but earlier requests are more likely to be funded than later ones because the funds are limited.
We expect to respond to requests within one week of receipt. If you have any questions, please contact Saari Greylock
