Faculty Travel and Conference Budget update: 2009-10 Academic Year
As we began the new year, we have implemented a strategy to cope with budget challenges in the Staff Development Department. We have taken last years' statistics in faculty conference spending, and have applied them to our forecast for the coming year. In doing so, we have divided up quarterly funds available according to the percentage of total funds used last year. Hopefully this will allow us to budget for all 4 quarters according to past demand and necessity. Below are the Quarterly Funds available to Faculty:
- Summer: $4,032
- Fall: $16,623
- Winter: $17,640
- Spring: $12,096
The best way to secure a funding approval is to apply early!
Deadline Dates:
It is important to note for the 2009-2010 academic year, we have adopted quarterly submission deadlines for faculty professional development travel and conference funds:
- Fall Quarter Travel/Conference Requests: October 10th
- Winter Quarter Travel/Conference Requests: January 23rd
- Spring and Summer Quarter Travel/Conferences Requests: April 24th
The Travel & Conference Committee will meet following each deadline to review the applications. Every effort will be made to fully fund requests. Depending on the number of requests received, requests may be partially funded.
