While the majority of funding is for visiting speakers, other expenditures, such as instructional media, are also supported. Individuals or groups who have suggestions about such programming, or who have arts-type programming of their own for which they seek support, should contact the relevant department chair. CARC will consider funding events strongly geared to one discipline, but when large amounts of money are involved, events with broad campus appeal will be given priority. CARC considers proposals on a rolling basis in the order in which they arrive, but prefers that proposals be submitted by the first committee meeting of the semester in which the event is to be held. Earlier submissions are encouraged and in fact receive priority.
Proposals are welcome from students, faculty, and staff.
One proposal may be submitted for related events, such as the various talks within a colloquium or series. See the summer memo for a list of scheduled committee meetings. CARC will not in general fund an event after it has taken place. This should include a breakdown of how many lectures, classroom visits, workshops, and so forth, will be held. This may be approximate.
