The Center for New Student & Family Programs is excited to offer campus departments and
student organizations the opportunity to apply for Welcome Week Innovation Grants to aid in the
development of programs. Welcome Week events should provide a glimpse into facets of life on
campus, including academic, social, athletic, cultural, artistic, and wellness events. Events must
take place between August 20 and August 30, 2015.
Welcome Week Innovation Grant applications will be accepted through Monday, June 22,
2015, at 4:00pm, via email to [email protected]. Departments are responsible for planning
and implementing all aspects of the event, including reserving space on campus. The Center for
New Student & Family Programs will include all grant recipient programs in the broad
marketing for Welcome Week. The following restrictions are put on funding:
 Funds cannot be used for marketing individual events

After the event takes place, departments must submit proof of expenditures to be reimbursed up

Center for New Student & Family Programs by September 15, 2015.
Additionally, all student organizations will be asked to make a 10 minute presentation to New
Student & Family Programs on their event and why it deserves funding. This presentation will
focus on how the event will achieve its learning outcomes presented in the application and how
the event will foster a sense of belonging in the U’s community. The presentation should also
include time for questions from the Center. Please let us know via email if you have any
questions about this requirement. We will reach out to set up appointments once all application
materials have been submitted.
