Civic Engagement Stimulus Grants

Hey everyone,

If you're a faculty member, consider applying for one of these grants by Friday! If you're a student, encourage your favorite professor to apply for one--help them design it, and participate in the class! It's a great way to get to know a professor better and bring civic engagement issues into your studies. Info is below.

Have a great day!
