Platinum Series
The Office of Student Development is currently accepting grant applications for Spring 2010 Platinum Series. Sponsored through the Office of Student Development Platinum Series is designed to complement academia by providing intellectually challenging and enriching programs, as well as opportunities to experience the arts and other forms of creative expression. A key component of the series is the partnership between faculty and the Student Development staff in creating these programs. The intent of this series is that offered programs take place outside class time, and are open to all students. Special consideration will be given to trips that occur on the weekends.
