Mavis Biss, director of the Center for the Humanities, will host a Faculty Grant Info session at 12:00 pm in College Center Conference Room 105. Come learn about the dozen-plus grant opportunities we have for faculty, as well as for students, along with tips for successful proposals. This session is open to all tenured, tenure-track, and non-tenure-track faculty. Some time will be dedicated to reviewing the process for applying for large, medium, and small grants.
