The Argenti Fund

1.       Support for international activities in the classroom:  The Argenti Fund

This donor-supported fund will provide resources to enrich classes that have an international focus.  Such requests can include funds for films, supplies, projects, student research, or serve to supplement outside speaker funds.  As this is a limited fund, the maximum that can be requested is $200.   In the future, as we will attempt to provide support for fall and spring courses, requests for the fall semester will be due at the end of the preceding spring semester; requests for the spring semester will be due at the end of the preceding fall.  In academic year 2012, however, we will only be considering requests for the upcoming spring semester.    

Individuals should submit a request in triplicate to the Dean’s office that includes:

1. A description of the class, including the number of students.
2. The impact of the funds.
3. A clear budget request.

By receiving this money, recipients will be expected to write a report on the use of the funds to be shared with the donor.
