FUNDING

Funding for Affiliated Courses and Events

The Learning Collaboratives (LCs) support collaborative inquiry and action both inside and outside the classroom. Faculty and staff may request up to $500 to support:

• LC-tagged courses (e.g., guest speakers, field trips, student projects)

• LC-affiliated events and programs that engage one or more of the LC Urgent Questions:

LC Urgent Questions:

• Art & Politics: How can art and politics intersect to challenge dominant narratives and create new visions for community?

• Environments & Change: How do we envision sustainable and just futures in the face of a changing planet?

• In/Justice: How do we create liberatory spaces amid the pervasiveness of white supremacy and oppression?

Funding Priorities:

• Priority will be given to events and programs that are open to the campus community.

• Courses must be officially tagged with an LC to be eligible for funding.
