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.
