The deadline for submitting applications to the Convocations Committee to obtain funding for guest speakers during the spring 2017 semester is Nov. 1.

Convocations Committee grants are generally $150 to $750. Money is limited and the process is competitive.

If there is a high number of requests, only one application from a department will be accepted. The speaker request form and guidelines are available on the Faculty Senate website.

The vitae of each requested guest speaker along with the application must be submitted electronically. To submit an application or for more information, contact Karen Griffin at kgriffin2@unl.edu or 402-472-2573.
