Travel Support

Each fall, academic division leaders forward to the Vice President for Academic Affairs a request for travel funds for faculty members who have been notified that their presentations have been accepted as well as those who have submitted presentations but have no decision regarding acceptance.

The request must include:

1.  the names of the faculty members who will participate in conferences, 

2. the title and status of their submission for presentation (or a description of the role they will play at the conference), 

3. the relationship of the trip to faculty professional development goals, 

4.  and the dates of travel, location of the conference, and total estimated costs.

Following a review of the requests, the Vice President for Academic Affairs transfers travel funds to each division to be used to support travel requests. The Vice President for Academic Affairs will reserve funds for those faculty members whose papers are pending acceptance. If the funds are not used for the approved travel, they must be returned to the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
