Deadline for SEC Visiting Faculty Travel Grant Program applications Friday
The Southeastern Conference Visiting Faculty Travel Grant Program is intended to enhance faculty collaboration that stimulates scholarly initiatives between SEC universities. It gives faculty from one SEC university the opportunity to travel to another SEC campus to exchange ideas; develop grant proposals; conduct research; consult with faculty and/or students; offer lectures or symposia; or engage in whatever activities are agreeable to the visitor and host unit.
Mississippi State University can select a maximum of eight faculty members to receive 2017-2018 travel grants of $1,250 each for transportation, room, board, etc., to use for travel to another SEC campus. Assistant, associate and full professors are eligible.
Travel dates for these visits are between Sept. 1, 2017, and June 15, 2018. The faculty member will contact a host unit that he or she wishes to visit to determine that unit’s receptivity and availability.
