Kenyon Procedures for Single College Proposals

GLCA Description of Individual College Awards

Judging Process for Single-College Proposals

The academic dean or provost of each GLCA member college will receive $1,000 per year from the Academic Innovation Fund for the purpose of supporting campus-based collaboration in either of the two thematic areas (i.e., building academic community, or fostering academic leadership). Each college dean or provost will oversee the process of evaluating proposals and determining awards for support from this single-college fund.
