Speaker and event support program
ESDRI-affiliated faculty can apply for support for a visiting speaker/scholar/event (up to $1000) for expenses such as travel, hotel stay, or honorarium. Speakers must have a strong ESDRI research area alignment with opportunity to collaborate with ESDRI members. Preference will be given to visitors engaging in additional student-centered training or outreach activities (e.g. in addition to a speaking engagement, providing a workshop or mentoring session). Inviting departments are asked to handle all travel arrangements and/or reimbursement paperwork. We ask that ESDRI be included as a sponsor in advertisement for the event(s).
Registered KSU student organizations may also apply for support to invite speakers or conduct events. Speakers or events must be relevant to ESDRI's mission and open to non-organization members. We ask that ESDRI be included as a sponsor in advertisement for the event(s).
To apply please email us a proposal at esdri@kent.edu
Center for Ecology and Natural Resource Sustainability (CENRS)
The center promotes an understanding of the natural environment and its resources through scientific research, education of students at 麻豆精选 and beyond, and programs to restore and preserve the integrity of natural areas.
