The creativity and innovation of faculty and staff is critical to the success of our students. Experiential learning is one way faculty and staff can help students build a toolbox full of interpersonal skills, professional skills, and discipline-specific skills to help them excel in their future careers.
Both faculty and staff are eligible to apply for mini grants of up to $250. These grants are to be used for the direct benefit of students. A description of the grants and the application are below.
