POD Diversity Committee Donald H.Wulff Diversity Travel Fellowships
The Donald H. Wulff Diversity Travel Fellowships Program seeks to increase participation by people from underrepresented groups and/or institutions in the field of instructional development. Recently renamed to honor the memory of an early supporter of the Diversity Committee, the travel grant program awards up to $1,000 to individuals (and up to $2,000 for teams of two or more) to support their travel to the annual POD Conference. The 2010 POD Conference is in St. Louis, Missouri, November 3-7, 2010.
The POD Diversity Committee [DC] is particularly interested in people who would join POD and contribute to its mission over the long term. Former grant recipients who have not received more than one award in the past may also apply for a second grant, with priority consideration being given to second-time applicants who have remained active members of POD's Diversity Committee. Underrepresented institutions include, but are not limited to the following: 1) Historically Black Colleges and Universities, 2) Native American Tribal Colleges, 3) Hispanic Serving Institutions or Hispanic Area Colleges and Institutions.
To Apply for the 2010 Donald H. Wulff Diversity Travel Fellowships Grant:
The deadline for applications is May 20, 2010 by 5 p.m. EDT. Awardees will be contacted in July 2010.
Applications for the grants should be sent via email attachment to Marie-Therese C. Sulit, Chair–POD Diversity Committee Grants Program, at sulit@msmc.edu
Applications should address the following questions:
* Please describe your interest and/or experience in instructional development.
* How will you benefit from attending the POD conference and how do you hope to share these benefits with others at your institution?
* How might POD benefit from your membership and attendance and how do you hope to contribute to the organization in the future?
