$500 Graduate Travel Award
$500 Graduate and Undergraduate Travel Award
UPDATE TO GUIDELINES
Students are eligible to apply for the award as follows:
- One time as an undergraduate student
- One time as a master’s level student
- One time as doctorate level student
The SEES Travel Award was established to support graduate and undergraduate students’ travel to conferences (local, national, international) for the purpose of presenting their research, conducting research, exhibiting or performing creative works, competing or attending in order to enhance their research goals. Travel related only to networking, job search, co-curricular activities, internships, courses, study abroad, leadership, presenting someone’s research other than the applicant’s, etc., is not eligible.
The award covers expenses up to $500 for roundtrip travel, hotel, conference fees and hotel parking.
· Applications must be submitted minimally 30 days prior to travel; however, it is advantageous to apply early as funds can deplete quickly.
· Travel must occur prior to student’s graduation date.
INCOMPLETE AND LATE APPLICATIONS WILL BE DENIED WITH NO EXCEPTION AND CANNOT BE RESUBMITTED.

Coalition and Insurgence: Responding to Anti-DEI Climate of Higher Education
This has been a year of rapidly expanding intrusive legislation, policies, and practices to roll back and maintain educational inequities in higher education. Actors in higher education have extinguished programs and liquidated offices aimed at promoting educational justice for marginalized groups throughout the world. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are imperative for students, staff, and faculty. Within this context, we seek to pool resources that enable justice and equity in higher education. What will the response be? How can one find co-conspirators? What can we imagine as a possible change in this climate?
This year, the 46th volume of the Vermont Connection seeks articles, personal narratives, art, podcasts, and creative projects that contribute to educational theory and practices that enable transformative social justice in higher education. We seek to highlight original research, essays, theories, policy proposals, and stories that bring to light new ways of thinking in an explicit anti-DEI climate for colleges and universities. We ask individuals to share observed phenomena, insights, and advice on creating a bulwark or carve out a new path for diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education.
Please visit https://forms.gle/pvnXtU8LfBwqrmyr5 for more information on the guidelines for submitting a proposal for TVC 46. Proposal submissions are due 11:59 p.m. September 29th.
If you have any other questions, please get in touch with the journal editors, Steve Zatarain (steve.zatarain@uvm.edu) or Sherif Alao (sherif.alao@uvm.edu).
We are looking forward to your submissions!
