Beacon Travel Money



Initiative TitleBeacon Travel Money
Submitted in Previous Year(s)No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, RationaleCurrently, no money is allocated to take students who are chosen to Beacon. While many of the students chosen more recently have come from the Honors Program, not all do. Interdiscplinary Studies seems the perfect home for this as students and mentors might come from any area on campus. Having funds set aside will ensure we can continue to encourage high level student research and provide the means by which students can represent the college in an academic manner.
Consequences of this initiative not being fundedNo funds will be available to take / send student to the conference. As it is rarely at our campus, attending means travel, food and hotel in some cases. Most students cannot afford to go on their own. Offsetting student costs and even mentor costs might encourage more faculty to work with students and students to submit and attend.

Institutional Goals

Goal How will the initiative support this institutional goal?
Students who are chosen for Beacon should have the opportunity to attend, without the worry of providing funds themselves. Simply having to take off time from work may be difficult enough for some students. Having adequate funds to support our students efforts as they pursue higher level research and presentations seems part of our academic function.
Funding of this nature ensures competitions like Beacon are open to all students, regardless of economic means. Without it, some students simply could not afford to attend if the conference is help anywhere but SUNY Orange.
