A portion of the Lattie F. Coor Endowment is available each year to assist individual faculty, departments, and programs with the sponsorship of larger programming efforts in the humanities and fine arts. These include workshops, symposia, conferences, and performances. The planning of such events and programs should be undertaken at least six months in advance and must be coordinated with the Humanities Center to ensure the highest visibility and campus-wide cooperation. Applications are rolling, but priority will be given to applications received before 4:00 p.m. on 15 October 2017, and an initial inquiry concerning this funding should be sent to Humanities Center co-director Luis Vivanco (email link).

The maximum amount of any award will be $2,500.
