Office of the Dean of the College

To: Department and Program Heads

Administrative Support Staff

From: Hank Dobin

Subject: College Mini-Grants – Fall 08

Date: August 14, 2008

The Office of the Dean invites proposals from departments and programs in the College for mini-grants for the FALL term.

Course Enhancements

Proposals of up to $750 for enhancements to specific departmental or interdepartmental courses to be taught in FALL TERM 2008. Examples of such enhancements include inviting visitors to campus to meet with your class, excursions with students to Washington or Richmond, or purchases of special materials such as films, CDs, or videos. Each department or program may submit up to three such proposals, ranked in priority order. Please budget modestly; the smaller each individual request, the more requests we can grant. Use the attached proposal form and accompany the forms with a brief cover letter from the head endorsing and prioritizing the proposals.

The deadline for submission of Fall Term mini-grant proposals is September 12, 2008.

Please contact Michelle Barron (mbarron@wlu.edu or 8737) with any questions.
