• student retention, engagement, and success

• equitable practices, policies, and pedagogy

• teambuilding, planning, and organizational development

• collaboration across departments, divisions, and work areas

• development of resources for departments, divisions, classrooms, and offices

Types of Initiatives Funded by the Seed Grant:

• build out or expansion of a departmental library

• implementation of a team retreat 

• acquisition of innovative teaching materials to support your division
