Travel-grant program helps junior faculty with dependents
When junior faculty travel to attend professional events or conduct research, they may now take advantage of as much as $500 per year to help care for their dependents.
Provost John Etchemendy introduced the Junior Faculty Dependent Care Travel Grant Program at the June 15 meeting of the Faculty Senate.
The money may be used to defray the costs of care for either children or dependent adults while a faculty member is traveling; reasonable care expenses above what would normally be incurred at home if the dependent must travel, too; duplicate care; and travel expenses for a caregiver. More than one request for reimbursement may be submitted until the maximum of $500 is reached in any calendar year.
