FSP Funding Requests

First Seminars are meant to foster “an intellectually exciting and challenging experience” and to “pique students intellectual curiosity.” In order to accomplish these goals, faculty may wish to arrange for field trips, outside speakers, food, and/or instructional materials beyond required textbooks. The First Seminar program is pledged to support faculty initiatives in these areas as much as the program’s budget permits.  Instructors may also need to reserve the use of facilities besides their normal classroom.
