Good afternoon:<\/p>\n
I hope you\u2019ve all been enjoying your summer so far.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve been keeping me busy with your travel award applications!\u00a0 It\u2019s wonderful to see so many of our graduate students once again attending conferences and getting a chance to present your research and network with colleagues and peers.<\/p>\n
I want to remind you that when you submit your applications, please make sure you include the total costs of the conference. \u00a0You need to submit receipts up to $1500 for reimbursement, but the total cost is really important.\u00a0 Later this summer, I\u2019ll be reviewing the funding levels for next year\u2019s travel award.\u00a0 If I\u2019m going to propose increasing the award value, then I need data to support that recommendation.\u00a0 As an example, up until 2015, our LFS GSTA funding levels were 1 award per program, $400 MSc and $600 PhD.\u00a0 When the award value increased to $1500 in 2015W, up until last year, the average award was approximately $1250.\u00a0 For 2022W, the average costs to students to attend a conference were approximately $2,028.00. I\u2019d say that\u2019s a substantial increase.\u00a0 \u00a0I\u2019ll likely be sending out a Qualtrics survey within the next couple of weeks to get your feedback on funding levels for the LFS Graduate Student Travel Award.\u00a0 Again, your feedback will be very helpful.<\/p>\n
As always, please don\u2019t hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.<\/p>\n
