| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | For several years, the Department has held several events during National Poetry Month in April We have managed to finance these with faculty contributions of time and for refreshments. It would enhance the student experience as well as increasing community attendance if we could recruit and pay a recognized poet. In addition, the Department has no funding for refreshments at an adjunct reception or other training or sharing sessions. These have been financed by chair, assistant chair, and coordinator of corequisite learning. We would like to see some funding for these and other department-sponsored events provided by the College. |
|---|
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Not scheduling such events results in a loss of opportunity for students to participate in literary events. The adjunct reception and workshop leads to better communication of department standards and College policies as well as increasing morale and emphasizing the Department's appreciation of their efforts. Both would suffer if this event were not funded. |
