Labor and Finance in Developing Countries: Trip to World Bank/IFC
"Through CPGC funding, Professor Cichello and I were able to take our students to Washington DC to meet directly with the World Bank researchers whose work we were reading. We spent the whole day there talking about recent findings, the challenges of designing effective development programs, and the difficulties and expense of long term studies to verify impacts. For many students, the opportunity to engage face to face with the economists who were doing the actual work was the highlight of the year."
- Shannon Mudd, Assistant Professor of Economics and Microfinance Program Coordinator
The CPGC can provide funding for a range of projects, including:
- Field trips in conjunction with courses
- Honoraria and travel expenses for outside speakers
- Field research related to both the faculty member's scholarship and the Center's mission
- Attendance at off-campus conferences
Support may be requested to cover expenses for course projects, such as reimbursement for student travel expenses, funds to hire a work-study or graduate student to coordinate internship placements, reimbursement for the purchase of materials, or funds for course-related trips.
All activities must be related to the Center's mission to extend the College's commitment to peace & social justice through research, education & action, and to promote scholarship on critical issues.
Faculty members considering requests for major proposals (> $3,000) are asked to discuss them beforehand with one of the CPGC directors.
