Co-Sponsorship Opportunities
The Center for the Humanities is dedicated to ensuring that educators across campus continue to connect our community with partners from outside our immediate intellectual community. In light of our general ongoing commitment to minimizing the center’s footprint, we are allocating a significant portion of our annual co-sponsorship budget to supporting virtual visits.
The center’s advisory board has devised a schedule of honoraria for sponsoring and co-sponsoring virtual visitors to 51²è¹Ýapp in 2024–25. Given the importance of helping faculty, staff, and students maintain and build networks of support, intellectual engagement, and enrichment, we believe strongly that the use of funds in support of virtual visits is consistent with our collective responsibility to be stewards of our institutional resources.
We understand that particular circumstances and visits will require slightly different levels of support. The schedule of honoraria is meant to guide and aid in your planning efforts.
We will also continue to support a limited number of in-person visits.
Virtual Class and Workshop Visits
For a single visitor making an hour-long virtual class visit, with minimal planning via email or telephone, we will provide up to $250.
For a single speaker making a two-hour-long virtual class and/or workshop visit, including significant virtual planning with local partners: up to $500.
Virtual Keynote/Public Lecture or Event
For a single-person virtual public event, including but not limited to lectures, readings, or demonstrations, including at least one virtual planning session with local partners, the center will contribute up to $500 toward a visitor’s honorarium.
In-Person Visits and Events
The Center recognizes the importance of the opportunities that in-person visits make possible. We will offer up to $500 toward the expenses connected to in-person class visits, workshops, and public talks or demonstrations.
We will consider proposals for co-sponsorship funding on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Please use the center’s to request center support.
