Office of the Dean of the College

To: Department and Program Heads

Administrative Support Staff

From: Hank Dobin

Subject: College Mini-Grants – Spring 09

Date: March 11, 2009

The Office of the Dean invites proposals from departments and programs in the College for mini-grants for the Spring 09 term.

Course Enhancements

Proposals of up to $750 for enhancements to specific departmental or interdepartmental courses to be taught in Spring 09. Examples of such enhancements include inviting visitors to campus to meet with your class, excursions with students, 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.

Proposals will be reviewed on a rolling basis, however, the final deadline for submission of Spring term mini-grant proposals is March 27, 2009.

Please contact Michelle Barron at ext. 8737 or mbarron@wlu.edu with any questions.
