Notice about Travel Funds:

We were just notified that the Office of Research and Graduate Studies is saying that, “All of our funds allocated for travel Aug-Dec 2013 have been exhausted at this time.”  This refers to the matching funds students may apply for through ORGS, so if you have recently applied to travel to a conference this fall, you are only eligible to receive the department’s share of funding.  If you applied earlier and you have gotten a message from ORGS that they will fund you, don’t worry.  Check the department policies manual for how to apply for ORGS matching funds in the future (Robin Wheelwright is in charge of travel). ORGS will have a new allocation of student travel funds in the Spring, and if you have a submitted to a Spring conference, we suggest applying as early as you have been accepted.
