The center is glad to provide a variety of programs and funding opportunities for the coming year. Each is designed to support your work and our community in ways that make sense for the realities of our lives. Please see the descriptions below.
Co-Sponsorship Funding
We are prioritizing high-touch, small scale events that will provide maximum effect for our students, such as class visits and targeted workshops, though we will consider other requests as well based on the center's co-sponsorship guidelines for the year. Where possible, please consider inviting non-tenured and and non-tenure track faculty for virtual visits in light of ongoing labor insecurity in our profession.

Humanities Exploration Fund
The Humanities Exploration Fund provides small grants up to $300 to groups of people who want to explore together, read together, talk together, and listen together. You may use the funds to purchase books or any other materials, including performance tickets, that can help you draw on the arts and humanities to explore some part of the world around you. We encourage you to include a meal or two at or from a local restaurant as part of your proposal. Nothing like food to further conversation! With the Humanities Exploration Fund, you get to decide when and how that happens. Open to students, staff, and faculty. We hope you will consider submitting a proposal with friends this year!

Student Arts and Humanities Fund
Students! Have a specific project you’re working on that needs a little influx of cash to make it happen? The Student Arts and Humanities Fund might be for you. The project can be connected to a course or academic research, or it can be something you’ve been working on in your own time. You can use the money for virtually anything related to the project as long as you can demonstrate why and how the expenditure is essential to the work.
