Provost Leo Groarke extended the deadline for applications to the University’s Strategic Priority Fund to Monday, January 16.

The fund earmarks about $1.5 million for projects directed to the five goals highlighted in the University’s strategic plan:

• an exceptional undergraduate experience;
• research and graduate programs that build on our strengths;
• the recruitment and retention of the best faculty and staff;
• the social and economic well-being of the Windsor-Essex region; and
• international engagement.

Members of faculty and staff may make submissions for review and ranking by the appropriate dean, vice-president, or chief officer before consideration by the selection committee. All applications must be submitted through the new online Strategic Priority Fund Interface, which can be found at http://cleo.uwindsor.ca/spf.
