Committee on Lectures and Cultural Events

Application for Department & Interdepartmental Funds

Each academic department and/or interdepartmental program is entitled to $1,500 per year to support their internal cultural events and lecture programs. New this year the CLCE has created an activity number to which departments should bill their lectures and cultural programs for which they wish to be reimbursed. Billing for CLCE Departmental Grants (and this is ONLY for the $1,500 Departmental Grants, not for Classroom Lectures) should look like this:

Department Fund Number - Org - Account - Program Code - A80991 (new CLCE Activity Code)

On or before May 12, 2008 (or whenever the department reaches their $1,500 cap), the department chair needs to submit a specific accounting (see template) of how the money was spent supporting internal cultural events and lecture programs. After approval by the CLCE a journal entry will be made to cover expenditures.

Please note:

• Each department is responsible for paying all speakers and vendors via check requests made through the controller’s office.
• All requests must be approved in writing by the chair of the department before submission to CLCE.
• There is a cap of $1,500 dollars.
