Message from the CLCE, February 15, 2008

To Faculty, Students and Staff: 

(Please note that the following message does not concern classrooom lecture funds or departmental Wilson funds, which continue to be available).

The Committee on Lectures and Cultural Events held its February meeting last Wednesday. We have had an exciting year full of well-crafted, well-thought-out proposals that were a pleasure to read and support, and that have added much to the cultural life of this campus. This year's proposals as a group have also been unprecedentedly expensive, outstripping our budget by more than $150,000. We have now exhausted our funds and are unable to fund any further events in the 2007-08 academic year. We would encourage all members of our community to begin thinking about and planning their proposals for the coming year. May 1, 2008 is the next proposal deadline for events happening in the fall of 2008.
