Policies and Procedures
International Opportunities Awareness Month
Many students on campus, both U.S. and international, are interested in working in an international capacity upon graduation, but may not be aware of what they need to do or the resources that are available that can help them achieve this goal.
February 2001 will feature the first annual International Opportunities Awareness Month, providing students campuswide with a series of events that are specifically geared toward identifying international experiences and careers with a global focus. Activities will provide students with opportunities to hear from peers who are international by upbringing or by experience – through participation in study, work volunteer and/or teaching abroad – as well as from community members and UW–Madison alumni who are working in an international capacity. In addition, students will have opportunities to meet with representatives from various UW departments and other organizations, that help facilitate study, long-term employment, short-term work and travel abroad experiences.
Departments across campus are invited to participate and/or plan an internationally focused event during February. For information, to coordinate dates and to ensure your event is included on the calendar/ publicity for the month, please contact Susan Huber Miller, 263-7682; shubermiller@bus.wisc.edu.
Grants and fellowships
Meikeljohn-Powell Fellowship
The Integrated Liberal Studies Program has recently received a substantial grant to be directed toward establishing the Meiklejohn-Powell Fellowship.
Each year over the next 10 years, a $5,000 fellowship will be awarded to a faculty member to develop and teach a new class, workshop or lecture series that in some way reflects the work or concerns of Alexander Meiklejohn.
From 1927-1932, Alexander Meiklejohn directed the Experimental College at UW–Madison, where he tested, reworked and improved his ideas for the ideal liberal education. The ILS Program announces a call for proposals for the spring 2001 semester and, looking ahead, for the 2001-02 academic year. Examples of appropriate topics: residential learning communities, freedom of speech, critical thinking for an educated citizenry, the philosophy of liberal education, or other issues relevant to Meiklejohn’s concerns.
Application deadline: Nov. 15 for the spring 2001 and May 15 for the 2001-02 academic year. Contact: Booth Fowler, 262-9067; fowler@polisci.wisc.edu.
Industrial and Economic Development Research Program
University-Industry Relations promotes and advances UW–Madison research that benefits Wisconsin’s economy by competitively awarding grants through the Industrial and Economic Development Research program. We invite individual or groups of UW–Madison researchers to submit proposals for fiscal year 2001-02 that focus on research that is technically innovative, of interest to a broad economic sector and has a high potential to benefit Wisconsin’s industrial and economic development in the near term. UIR’s grants often allow faculty to generate additional public and private-sector support for their research programs, engage in inventive research and promote technology transfer between the university and industry. The majority of UIR grants are awarded as seed money to support early stages of applied research.
Deadline for letter of intent: Monday, Oct. 16
Deadline for proposal: Tuesday, Jan. 16
