Co-curricular Proposals

Co-curricular proposals

The College is looking for scholarly and creative activities and events that engage the undergraduate population and complement Themester courses.

Given the challenges of the pandemic, the College and Themester 2020 advisory committee are particularly interested in activities that allow for social distancing or take place online.

Past events and activities in the Themester have included:

Lectures and panel discussions
Colloquia and Workshops
Art exhibits
Museum programming and exhibits
Film screenings
Creative Performances

Each of these requires some creativity in light of the current pandemic. Proposals might adapt one of these or take student and/or community engagement in a new direction.

Deadlines: Funding deadlines have passed. Non-funded proposals will be accepted until June 10.

Themester is meant to inspire discussion and reflection on important topics within and across disciplines. To this end, and to better leverage limited resources, multidisciplinary events and partnerships between departments and units are encouraged.

Please include the following in proposals:

a description of the proposed programming and how it links to the theme
a 100-200 word description for the purposes of promotion
any direct or indirect curricular connection (reaching out to or consulting with relevant faculty is strongly recommended)
proposed date(s) and times
any initiatives already taken with regard to the event
expected audience (specific disciplines/majors? campus-wide? general public?)
publicity efforts that will be undertaken by you or your department
the contact person for the proposed program
