SPECIAL EVENT: Humanities Grant Writing Workshop

Nov.: The College of Arts & Sciences Dean's office sponsored a Humanities Workshop focused on grant writing in the Humanities. The panel included faculty from Departments of Anthropology, Public Adminisration, Social Work, World Languages and Literatures and Chemistry. Dr. Keri Brondo coordinated the event. The panelists were asked to share their experiences seeking and securing external funding. Participants were able to submit questions ahead of time and also at the end of the session.
