I am pleased to announce the criteria and dates for the 2008-2009 President’s Faculty Innovation Awards. This year, eight proposals were funded for up to $5,000 each, involving 11 faculty members
(See http://www.kingsborough.edu/announcement/President_Faculty_Awards.html
for the list of proposals funded since 2006.) Again, a total of $25,000 for the 2008-2009 academic year will be available. Awards of up to $5,000 will be made to successful applicants. Projects are eligible for support in the following areas:
-
use of innovative pedagogies and/or instructional technology in the classroom

interdisciplinary collaborations
If you have such a project in mind and would like it to be considered for an award, please submit a project proposal of no more than five pages to the Kingsborough Center for Teaching and Learning, M391, kctl@kingsborough.edu, by March 14, 2008. Proposals should include:
