Overview

The Public Service Area is a resource to support faculty and staff with the planning and funding of university projects. Public Service (as defined by the committee) is the term used to encompass the activities using the professional expertise of the University faculty which provide service to the community, region, state, or nation, within the bounds of the University mission as executed by its departments. These activities are commonly included under the headings of extension, continuing education, community service, adult education, and consultation.

Faculty and staff may apply for a Public Service Grant. These grants support projects and activities that enhance the University's public service mission. A committee is appointed by the Office of the President which consists of university faculty from various disciplines and program areas. The committee is responsible for the review of all applications and determining the allocation of the public service grant funds.
