Student
Symposia
The Graduate School established the Dean's Fund for Student-Organized
Symposia to support graduate students who wish to plan and conduct
academic conferences that address their fields of study. Such activities
offer an opportunity for graduate students to build relationships
with peers working in their specialities at other institutions,
as well as provide them with practical experience in developing
and administering an academic event.
The Graduate School
offers grants of up to $1,000 for student-organized symposia. Please
direct complete proposals via e-mail to Assistant Dean Edward Barnaby.
Proposals must be received at least six months in advance of the date of
the event.
The e-mail should contain the following information (MS
Word or PDF attachments are acceptable):
* Names and contact information of the
students organizing the event * Statement of up to two pages outlining
the purpose and objectives
of the symposium
* Tentative schedule listing proposed
dates, location, topics, readings, panelists, speakers and activities
*
Plan for promoting conference attendance both within and outside
of Yale (as appropriate) with a summary of any such activity
to date
* Itemized budget (with proposed sources
of additional funding for any portion in excess of $1,000)
Students proposing an event to the Dean's Fund
must also request that their DGS draft an e-mail to Dean Barnaby evaluating
the basic merits of the
proposed event
and any planned involvement of faculty members in the department. |
