In- and Out-of-State Travel to Conferences and Workshops

Limited funding of up to $750 is available for travel to conferences and workshops related to the College's Strategic Planning Directions, also reimbursement for meals is generally not awarded for one- day conferences:

  • Improve access and advance student success by strengthening evidence-based practices and resource allocation
  • Transform learning by integrating academic, workplace and global experiences to meet personal, professional and community needs
  • Drive innovation, enrich community and broaden the learning experience for all by fulfilling our shared responsibility for diversity
  • Empower all members of the college community to be educators, mentors, advocates, entrepreneurs and lifelong learners
  • Foster greater college engagement through improved communications and collaborative partnerships
  • Build partnerships that stimulate innovation and address the educational, social, economic, and workforce development needs of our communities

If you are interested in attending a conference or workshop that relates specifically to one of these strategic directions, please submit the on-line faculty/staff application. This application will be reviewed by the Office of Professional and Instructional Development and the Staff Development Committee. In order to maximize the impact of faculty/staff attendance at these conferences and/or workshops, participants will be asked to provide a brief presentation to appropriate faculty and staff through such venues as division/department meetings, Professional Day workshop, or Teaching, Learning and Reflection Center Workshop.
