SUBJECT:

Freshman Seminar Program and Senior Seminar Program - Winter Quarter 2016 Proposals

I am writing to encourage your participation in the Freshman and Senior Seminar Programs during Winter Quarter 2016. The due date for the submission of seminar proposals is Friday, September 25, 2015.

Eligible faculty will receive a $1,000 research payment (not as salary, but as funding available to support various academic expenses including research, travel, and supplies) for teaching either a one-unit Freshman Seminar or a one-unit Senior Seminar. A department may only offer Senior Seminars if it also offers at least two Freshman Seminars in the same quarter.

Proposals can be submitted by using the websites below:
