Posted: Tuesday, September 2, 2008Call for Applications: 2008-2009 Equity and Campus Diversity Minigrant Proposals
The Equity and Campus Diversity Office will receive applications for Equity and Campus Diversity Minigrants to provide financial assistance for projects, workshops, and activities to strengthen excellence in diversity as described in the college mission, strategic directions, and core values.
Awards of $800 to $2,000 will be awarded to student organizations, academic clubs, departments, programs, and/or individual faculty or staff members. The average minigrant is expected to be $1,000; however, projects of superior merit that are directly related to diversity in the curriculum may be funded for up to $2,000. Awards are contingent on available funds and approval by the president.
Projects MUST include issues related to race, ethnicity, gender, persons with disabilities, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, or other areas related to diversity, in curricular and extracurricular offerings, programs, and activities.
For more information, contact Dolores E. Battle, senior adviser to the president for equity and campus diversity, ext. 6210. Additional information and application forms are available at http://www.buffalostate.edu/equity/x725.xml
