| Meet the Higher Education Funding Strategy Charrette Team Members |
Funding is the lifeblood of most universities and colleges. Without proper funding many great ideas, plans and designs go unrealized. In today's economic climate federal, state and local budgets are being reduced. It is critical to develop creative ways to find additional funding to supplement those reductions.
One way is the "Funding Strategy Charrette." The purpose of this unique charrette or workshop is to bring together grant writers and funding experts who will be responsible for creating an outline or process which will act as a guide to find additional funding for the university or college. These professionals will be responsible for determining creative ideas of how to acquire funding for not only facilities but for various elements that make up a great campus.
This charrette is also designed to engage the faculty, students, alumni and other interested stakeholders.
