Travel/Professional Development funds
The College has a limited amount of supplemental travel/professional development funds that are allocated for our tenure line and teaching track faculty members.
Formal review will occur twice a year - November 1 and March 1 - so that all applications received to that point can be competitively reviewed for merits and against available resources. Approvals will be formally provided and funding addressed. (Note: We realize some requests may be time sensitive and we will do our best to accommodate off-cycle requests.)
Please fill out the appropriate webform below to submit your request. Note, all applications must have departmental/program support.
