The deadline date for submitting applications to the Convocations Committee to obtain funding for guest speakers during the spring 2016 semester is Nov. 2.

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

If there is a high number of applications, 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 Convocations Committee application must be submitted electronically to Karen Griffin at kgriffin2@unl.edu. For more information, send email to kgriffin2@unl.edu or call 402-472-2573.
