Description
Hobart and William Smith Colleges’ Office of Academic and Faculty Affairs (OAFA) makes funding available each year to support visits by guest speakers or artists. Listed under Curriculum Development & Enhancement, the opportunity supports faculty planning campus visits connected to teaching. First Year Seminar faculty planning to bring in a speaker are also directed to use the Campus Speaker/Artist Request Form.
The speaker and guest artist fund is part of OAFA’s shared approach to allocating faculty funding more equitably. This approach moves away from individualized requests and encourages faculty to use designated funding sources for their activities.
