The Principal's Development Fund, 2020-2021 Visiting Scholars program is open for applications. This fund supports visiting scholars that departments invite within their programs.

With the ongoing COVID-19 situation, and its current and future restrictions, visits under this program will need to be creative and will look very different from what they have been in the past. Non-traditional proposals, using Zoom and other similar formats for talks, etc., are acceptable.  How the visit is structured is at your discretion, but obviously, must adhere to all COVID-19 guidelines and protocols.
 
Please submit your request with an outline of the  visit  planned for your  department  and an estimated budget for each visitor to Kim Bellefontaine  by August 21, 2020. 
 
Approval of the allocation of funding for the 2020/2021 cycle will be made by mid-September.
