This program supports walking tours, pizza parties, field trips and cultural events at museums and theaters throughout the city. This is a fun, low-pressure way to connect with students and to allow them to connect with each other.
Events are most productive when held early in the semester, especially in freshman classes.
Faculty who wish to have a small event with a group of their advisees are welcome to use this fund as well. These funds are for informal activities such as restaurant outings, theater performances, museum trips, or sports events. We especially encourage instructors of first-year students to apply. Instructors typically apply grants to costs such as food, modest admission charges or local transportation. We normally respond within the week of receiving the application.
