The George
A. Miller Programs Committee accepts applications
for partial funding of visiting speakers or performers
and including them in this prestigious program
of lectures and cultural events. The CAS/MillerComm
public events series brings to campus people
who offer unique cross-disciplinary contributions
to the intellectual and cultural life of the
university. The visits of these guests should
also be designed to encourage their interactions
with the university community, particularly students.
All CAS/MillerComm events are free and open to
the public.
SELECTION
CRITERIA
Your
proposal will be evaluated for quality, uniqueness,
and breadth of appeal. Criteria include the visitor’s
expertise, relevance of the event to a wide range of
departments or units, and ability of the visitor to
present his or her work to an interdisciplinary audience.
The Committee requires that relevant campus units cooperate,
through cosponsorship, across disciplinary lines in
developing and financing events and evaluates proposals
accordingly. Note that the following campus units already
provide series funding and are therefore not candidate
cosponsors: Chancellor's Office, Provost and Vice Chancellor
for Academic Affairs, Vice Chancellor for Research,
Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, and any member
of the Council of Deans.
In
light of the ongoing budget crisis, the committee will
give primary consideration to the substantive merits
of the proposals themselves, and not the amount of
funding requested. Although the committee still requires
the primary sponsoring unit to seek funding from relevant
units across campus, the committee is also aware that
many of these units are unable to commit more than
a nominal amount from their shrinking resources.
