The Presidential Commission on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (PCSOGI) has limited travel funds available to help support faculty, staff, and students who wish to attend conferences, workshops, or seminars for the purpose of learning about or presenting scholarship on lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender topics.
For example, faculty or students may wish to seek support for presentations on LGBT topics at academic conferences or for attending conferences where they will have the opportunity to engage in new learning on LGBT topics. Staff members may wish to seek support for presentations on LGBT topics at professional conferences or for attending conferences that may assist them in integrating LGBT concerns into services and programs.
To apply for funds, please submit a PCSOGI Request for Travel Support form, including a breakdown of costs and other sources of funding support. All travel must take place in the fiscal year during which funds are requested.
For more information, contact Julia Lamb, PCSOGI Finance Committee Chair, at 815-753-1591 or e-mail jlamb@niu.edu.
