Overseas Travel to Present And Special Academic Activities

Purpose

Faculty members should be exhibiting their creative work or presenting the results of their research to other scholars at academic conventions, conferences, or similar professional meetings. Additionally, faculty members should be actively participating in workshops or short courses; serve as official session chairs, moderators, respondents, or discussants at academic conferences; or participate in the business of scholarly organization at academic conferences in an official capacity. Recently faculty have increased their participation at overseas conventions, conferences, or events. The purpose of Overseas Travel to Present & Special Academic Activities grants is to help off set faculty expenses associated with overseas travel.
