Academic Related Programs (ARP) are defined as those activities and programs which are an extension of the formal learning experience in a course or academic program. They provide an opportunity for students to become engaged and involved in their education outside of their academic courses. Academic related programs are at least partially supported by a faculty, staff, organization adviser or campus administrator and are integrally related to the formal instructional offerings of the campus. Examples include but are not limited to student colloquiums, lecture series, seminars, student projects, student conferences, student competitions, student forums, student exhibitions, student productions, and student performances and participation at professional conferences.
Current students in COE contributed proposals that were awarded over $60,000 for a variety of academic programs. Some of the programs that the success fee funding will contribute to in the spring semester are a series of workshop meant to raise cultural awareness, a 15-week undergraduate level course with a series of guest speakers on the subject of disability and society and an Asian Diaspora in Higher Education Conference.
Thanks to everyone who submitted a proposal, participated in the review process and helped to make this year a great success.
