The Division of Academic Affairs places a high value on the scholarly endeavors and creative activities of our faculty. As such, support for travel related to scholarly endeavors and creative activities is a Division priority. The Division of Academic Affairs Faculty Travel Procedure is intended to expand access to travel funds and fairly distribute limited resources, while maximizing support for research, scholarship, and creative activities. In addition, this procedure permits additional discretionary support for professional development activities as well as other infrequent requests for travel support.
