Dean's Travel Fund

The Dean's Office is happy to announce that the Travel Fund will continue this year for all tenured/tenure track faculty. Faculty may apply to receive these funds by first approaching their Chairs/Directors to outline the planned travel, which must include the faculty member presenting or performing. The Chairs/Directors must be willing to match the funds provided from the College Office.

In an effort to streamline the application process, we will use a Word application form

The faculty member will complete the first page and forward it to their Chair/Director, who will then fill out and attach the second page of the form and forward the completed hard copy to the Associate Dean.

Completed applications may be submitted throughout the academic year for travel activities that occur during the same academic year.

Please feel free to contact Associate Dean Brent Schneider directly if you have any questions about a specific project.
