Grant-writing workshop

Event Date: 2007-02-24 00:00:00.0 Event Time: 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

Location: Seidlin 016

Workshop: Writing Effective Proposals for Foundations and Other Funders Presenter: Steve Kulick

(Note: This workshop is limited to 12 participants. To sign up, contact Vicky Westacott at [email protected].)

Description: Participants will learn about a variety of resources available for researching possible funding sources, as well as what kinds of information those resources might yield to assist their funding search.

The workshop will also cover the basic components of a proposal and explain the nature of the information that funders look for in evaluating each component. Drawing upon the topics covered in the workshop, patricipants will also have the opportunity to begin drafting several components of a proposal involving a project or topic of their own choosing.

No prior experience with grants is needed to participate --just an interest in finding support for good projects.

Steve Kulick holds a bachelor's degree in political science from Syracuse University and a master's degree in public administration from the Maxwell School at Syracuse University. His professional career spans 30 years of experience in developing grant proposals in the public

and non-profit sectors as well as in the field of higher education. For the past 10 years he has served as the Director of Corporate, Foundation and Government Relations at Le Moyne College in Syracuse, NY.***********************************************************************

Potential fire hazard (lamp) to be aware of

The Office of Fire Prevention and Safety has released a bulletin about a potential fire hazard recently discovered. SUNY Fredonia had two close calls in the residence halls, but these lamps are available in most stores so many of us might own one in our apartments and homes. Please open the attached poster to see a photo of the lamp.
