The State Farm Companies Foundation awarded a grant to the College of Business to advance innovative uses of technology in the College. Using a portion of that award, a small grant program has been established to support and encourage faculty as they gain new knowledge and seek to further integrate technology in their professional activities. Faculty are particularly encouraged to request support for innovative uses of technology for instructional purposes. Examples of appropriate requests include support for software, small equipment additions, and developmental activities such as participation in seminars and workshops.
Three competitive funding opportunities are available through CTLT:
- Teaching and Learning Development Program,
- Supplemental Travel for Teaching, and
- Teaching and Learning Development Program.
