Student Travel Committee:

The Student Travel Committee consists of MSU Denver faculty, staff, and students. The Student Travel Committee has five regular voting members. The Committee members include: Director of Student Travel, who serves as the Committee’s Chair; designated representative from the Student Government Assembly; the Student Travel Assistant; a faculty member; and a student-at-large. The Committee typically meets the second Friday of each month to determine funding for the Student Travel Proposals submitted for that month.  Please speak with a Student Travel employee for your presentation date and time.
The Committee bases its recommendations on the following:

 

  • Thoroughness and quality of proposal materials and completion of all application requirements

  • Academic enrichment of the conference (both to those attending and to the MSU Denver student body)

  • Organizational enrichment of the conference (for those attending, the organization represented, and to the MSU Denver student body) if applicable

  • Enhancement of cultural diversity at MSU Denver

  • How attendance at the conference supports the educational mission of the institution

  • Personal enrichment of the conference to the individual(s) attending

  • Compliance with all MSU Denver and State of Colorado Fiscal Rules

  • Availability of funds

‌

Each Committee member uses a score sheet.  After the presentation the totals are averaged.  This average is used to determine funding.  The individual or lead student will receive a copy of the scoresheet from a Student Travel employee at his/her consultation.
