Events Planning and Coordinating Committee
Mission Statement
The Events Planning and Coordinating Committee (EPACC) is composed of faculty, staff and students appointed to administer funding for artistic and academic events that enrich the academic and cultural life of the college community. Our charge is to create a diverse program of special events, concerts, lectures, and lively arts presentations. We hope to sponsor several major events each year that appeal to a broad spectrum of the college community, as well as to support events connected to particular departments. The committee welcomes collaborations across programs and departments.
Submission of Proposals
To submit a proposal, please use the online submission form found on CNAV under Find it Now/Funding Programs. Deadline for submission is February 25, 2008. Questions about the submission process or events you would like to propose may be addressed to any member of the Committee.
Instructions for filling out the application.
Criteria used for proposal review:
- Quality of the proposal
- Campus appeal of the event
- Cosponsorship of the event
- Department/Program contribution
- What the funds are being used for (including "bang for the buck")
Budget
Our budget includes former LPAC funds and the Provost's Lecture Fund. Proposals for Common Hour should be sent to this committee. We intend to allocate 70% of our budget for three or four major events and 30% to support smaller-scale department activities. Proposals come to the committee from many sources, and members of the college community may apply for funding for events. Collaborative funding is encouraged.
