Funds for Attending Professional Conferences
For Fall 2009 term, we are pleased to offer limitted support for traveling to professional conferences, thanks to a class gift donation and continued support from a generous alumnus. During the past year, a generous gift from an anonymous SNRE alumnus in 2008-2009 enabled us to support students with their professional development. The gift provided funds for traveling to professional conferences during the 2008-2009 school-year. The prior year, the SNRE 2007 Class Gift, in conjunction with a donation from alumni Peter Mertz, provided funds for attending professional conferences during the 2007-2008 school-year.
The Post-Conference Evaluation is stored in a searchable database and provides feedback information on the value of the conferences from attendees.
Visit the Conference Reimbursement site for details and instructions.
***WE HAVE EXTENDED ALL OF OUR FUNDING FOR THE 2009-2010 YEAR!***
