Heyo Environmental Studiers,
My name is Kelsey and I’m the SAAB representative for the Environmental Studies Department this semester. In case you don’t know, SAAB (Student Academic Affairs Board) is a completely student-run board that grants funds to students for academic projects. So if you’re planning on putting on a performance, going to a conference, bringing in a visiting speaker for a lecture, doing research for your thesis, etc., SAAB is a great place to get monetary help with that! To see what some students have done in the past, check out this link.
As the semester is getting under way, I wanted to give you all a heads up on some important dates that are coming up concerning SAAB. All Arts Expression grants and Research grants are due on October 1st thereafter. SAAB also hears Visiting Scholar grants and Conference grants weekly – these grant proposals are due by 4 pm on Mondays and will be heard the following week.
In order to submit a grant, you will need to get in touch with two SAAB representatives at least two weeks before you plan to submit your proposal (a list of SAAB reps can be found on our website). In-depth instructions for each type of application can be found here.
For more information, visit SAAB’s website.
You can also e-mail SAAB (saab@lclark.edu), or me (kkahn@lclark.edu) for more info.
Keep on being great!
-Kelsey Kahn
