Request for Support
The University of North Florida’s Board of Trustees has allocated several hundred thousand dollars in recurring funds to support student engagement in transformational learning opportunities (TLOs). Full-time (non-visiting) faculty and staff from colleges, academic departments and programs, and other campus entities, may apply for a portion of these funds to support initiatives that are not funded through the regular budgeting process and that fit the University’s definition of transformational learning opportunities.
In this round of TLO funding, a portion of the funds will be made available for graduate student TLOs. Please note that there are separate applications, containing further information and application guidelines, for undergraduate and graduate TLOs.
Applications to support TLO activities to be offered in the 2008-2009 fiscal year are available now. Applicants can download the applications by clicking the links below:
Recipients of TLO awards will be required to: submit a detailed budget for their project; attend a pre-project meeting if their TLO involves student travel; participate in a small-group workshop conducted by the Office of Faculty Enhancement on best pedagogical and assessment practices applicable to the particular TLO area of interest; develop and assess student learning outcomes for their TLO project; and submit a report that outlines and demonstrates the success and accomplishments of the project.
Due date for applications is October 20, 2007 by 5 pm.
Submit both a hardcopy and electronic copy. Undergraduate TLO applications should be sent to David Jaffee ( djaffee@unf.edu ) in Academic Affairs 1/2500 and Graduate TLO applications should be sent to David Fenner ( dfenner@unf.edu ) in the Graduate School 1/1200.
Direct any questions about the TLO initiative to David Jaffee (djaffee@unf.edu) or Martina Perry (martina.perry@unf.edu).
