Student Technology Fee Call for Proposals – Proposals Due 2/27/2009

A pool of funds from the Student Technology Fee is available to stimulate the development of innovative student-focused technology projects on the Oxford campus.  A total of $525,000 is available and any student, faculty or staff member may apply for funding. 

A call for proposals was issued earlier this semester and the deadline is fast approaching – proposals are due Friday, February 27, 2009. Faculty, staff and students who have proposals that comply with the Guidelines for Expenditures are encouraged to submit them.

The funds will be awarded through a competitive process that is governed by a review team comprised of students, faculty and staff members from across the campus. 

A small sampling of the 30 funded proposals from last year include: 

• BuildingGreen - Software for architecture students used for research on sustainable products and practices.
  
  
• Diversity Awareness through Digital Media - Providing diversity exposure to students through digital media such as podcasts and online videos.
  
  
• Digital Media Equipment - Equipment for students in Journalism and Mass Communication to use in gathering audio-visual content for use in a wide variety of classes involving online media components.
