Important Reminder: New Reimbursement Procedures for Faculty Grants and Conference TravelThe Assoc. Dean for Faculty Development will handle all procedures for reimbursement of expenses related to grants overseen by the Committee on Faculty Resources: Faculty Research and Creative Work Grants, Mellon Grants, and Conference Travel Allocations. Please review the reimbursement procedures for each type of grant below. Although many of the details of the reimbursement procedures remain the same, we have created some new pathways to reduce paperwork and expedite requests. Research / Creative Work and Mellon Grant ReimbursementsTo begin the reimbursement process, please complete the Faculty Funds Report and Reimbursement Request Form, 2014-2015 (my.knox login required). You will file your report on your activities under the grant here; these reports typically run from a few paragraphs to two pages. Please submit your reimbursement request to Debie Polillo, Old Main 208. Reimbursements for travel expenses must be filed in a "Travel Expense Report" envelope along with all original receipts. Please remember to sign the envelope. New Conference Travel Allocation Reimbursement / Survey FormTo manage conference travel reimbursement requests more efficiently and to assist CoFR in assessing the effectiveness of the newly-implemented Conference Travel Allocation system, we ask that all faculty submit a Conference Travel Reimbursement Request and Survey (my.knox login required) prior to submitting your reimbursement request. Reimbursements for travel expenses must be filed in a "Travel Expense Report" envelope along with all original receipts. Please remember to sign the envelope. Also, please attach a copy of your paper or presentation, if appropriate. Submit requests for reimbursement to Debie Polillo, Old Main 208.
Fridays @ 4 for 2014-2015: Seeking PresentersApply to present by contacting facultydevelopment@knox.edu.All faculty are encouraged to consider presenting as part of "Fridays @ 4," the faculty's lecture series for itself. The aim of "Fridays @ 4" is to provide an opportunity for faculty to present "work in progress" in front of a supportive, interdisciplinary, non-specialist audience. Work at any stage in any field is welcome, however, "Fridays @ 4" is especially useful for new, experimental projects, projects that need a kick-start, or a presentation that would benefit from a dress rehearsal. "Fridays @ 4" has two presentations each term. Refreshments and camaraderie are served at each. Please contact me if you have questions and especially if would like to present.
