New in Fall 2023:  Instructors may also request funding for honoraria for guest lecturers or guest performers in a course, for local trips to a museum, performance or other field trips, or for supplies for course projects. Requests for funding for co-curricular course enhancements of these types and others should be communicated to the school’s fiscal manager in the dean’s office. If the school cannot fund the request in full or the instructor is not affiliated with a school, instructors may contact Linda Boland, Associate Provost for Faculty to discuss the request.
