Proposal

presentation on campus which will be used for publicity
purposes.
- Dates
on Campus.
- Lecture
Date(s): List two (2) preferred dates

- Narrative
Part I. The proposed event. CAS/MillerComm
events are broadly interdisciplinary and are for
the benefit of the campus audience as well as the
public at large. What impact will this event have
on the UIUC community and community at large?
- Narrative
Part II. The proposed schedule. Besides
the MillerComm event, the visitor is expected to
interact with the campus community, particularly
students. The committee thus requests that a detailed
schedule of activities while the visitor is at
UIUC be included: these might include lunch discussions,
classroom visits or invited seminar. Please include
arrival and departure information if known.
- Budget. The
committee requests that relevant campus units cooperate,
through cosponsorship, across disciplinary lines
in developing and financing
events and evaluates proposals accordingly.
