Student Travel Committee:
The Student Travel Committee consists of faculty, staff, and students from the MSCD community. 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; a student employee from the Student Services division; a faculty member; and a student-at-large, designated by the Committee Chair. The Committee meets the second week of each month to determine funding for the Student Travel Proposals submitted for the month of travel.
The Committee bases its recommendations on the following:
- Thoroughness and quality of proposal materials and completion of all application requirements
- Academic enrichment of the event (both to those attending and to the MSCD student body)
- Organizational enrichment of the event (for those attending, the organization represented, and to the MSCD student body)
- Enhancement of cultural diversity at MSCD
- How the travel proposal supports the educational mission of the institution
- Personal enrichment of the event to the individual(s) attending
- Compliance with all MSCD and State of Colorado Fiscal Rules
- Availability of funds
The Committee discusses funding for each proposal with the Director of the Student Travel Program, who makes the final funding decision for each proposal. Funding decisions may be appealed to the Dean of Student Life for reconsideration in special situations.
