Classroom Enrichment Support

The Academic Engagement and Programming staff in the Office of Undergraduate Education assists faculty teaching undergraduates with co-curricular enhancements that promise to increase the intellectual engagement of their students.

Faculty interested in taking their students on a field trip to a museum, exhibit, performance, research facility, or other location or event that promises to extend and enrich their students' learning should contact the staff to make the arrangements. The Academic Engagement staff will also arrange guest speakers for faculty who would like to bring a visiting scholar or relevant expert to class or to campus for a lecture, discussion or demonstration for a larger audience.

Funding and staff assistance are available for conferences, speakers, performances, and trips as long as the outcome is more active engagement in the subject matter by our undergraduates.

Faculty, who have partnered with the Academic Engagement and Programming staff in the past have received:

Funding for modest honoraria for guest lecturers in classrooms.
Funding for transportation to New York, Philadelphia, Princeton, and Washington, D.C. for their group.
Assistance with paperwork associated with trip waivers.
Funding for tickets to performances.
Assistance in contract arrangements for speakers and performers.
Assistance in developing publicity plans for conferences, lectures, or other large events.
Funding for student travel to a conference in which they will participate.
