Gustavus Adolphus College

The Center for International and Cultural Education can provide a limited amount of funding to enable faculty to visit an off-campus site or to bring an individual from a current program site to Gustavus. A request for funding can be made for one or more of the following reasons:

1. To begin steps to pilot a new program;
2. To get faculty, staff, and/or administrators to a site to become familiar with the operation and/or individuals and/or institutions in hopes of building a stronger connection between the campus and the off-campus site for purpose of program support or student recruitment;
3. To check on the progress of students/program at a particular site either as part of an established periodic assessment program or as the result of a perceived need to examine a program in greater detail;
4. To strengthen the ties between the campus and the off-campus individuals and/or programs and/or institutions.

A request for funding a visit from individuals at an off-campus site to the Gustavus campus can be made for one or more of the following reasons:

1. To plan, develop, or improve arrangements for off-campus programs;
2. Purely for ceremonial/public relations reasons (i.e., honorary degrees);
3. To explore possible new programs;
4. To begin steps to pilot a new program.

The goal of the Center for International and Cultural Education is to provide a fair and equitable system for access to site visit and program development funds. Decisions on funding of site visits will be based on finding the most economical plans in terms of human and financial resources. Requests for funding for one-time only site visits are accepted on a rolling basis. Two-thirds of the available funds will be allocated to those requests which are approved and one-third will be held back for emergency or unplanned necessary visits. Some funds might be available through other budget areas of the College (i.e., administrative budgets). Applicants are encouraged to pursue these possibilities.
