Total funds available 2008-09: $30,000
These travel grants are available to faculty traveling to conferences that are
specifically about pedagogy or curriculum development. While one might argue
that any professional conference may help improve one’s teaching, attendance at
conferences that focus on a particular area of research or that serve as the
annual meetings of a particular discipline are usually not funded. The grants
will normally cover the registration fee, transportation up to $750, and hotel
and food costs up to $600. Recipients of grants must
submit a brief report on the conference and how it contributed to their teaching
effectiveness and/or to the curriculum; the Assistant Dean will share these
reports with the Wig
Fund for Teaching Committee of the Board of Trustees.
Applications should be made using the form attached here and should be sent to
Kristin Fossum, Assistant Dean of the College. There are no deadlines;
applications are accepted so long as funds remain.
