Organizers hope to have 400 participants in the first year and will also be offering a select number of travel grants to help students afford participation (CURAH also has travel awards for students).

CURAH celebrates achievements at annual CUR business meeting

1 Comment

CUR’s annual business meeting concluded last week at the Ohio University. Councilors welcomed new members, elected a new set of officers, and basked in the division’s achievements during the year including two new awards for students and faculty, a substantial endowment (to which you can donate), the Volunteer-of-the-Year award for our beloved outgoing chair, Maria Iacullo-Bird, and a shoutout from the CUR President for this very blog and website.

New Councilors

New councilors present at the meeting include Debra Bourdeau (Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University), David García (Carthage College), and Diana McClintock (Kennesaw State University). Check out their biographies on our councilor page.

Awards débuted in 2018/19

CURAH takes great pride in two new awards in the past year, the Trimmer Travel Award for undergraduates, and the Arts & Humanities Mentor Award. Details for future applications are available on our award page. Behind these two awards lies endowed funding, and CURAH now has the largest endowment of any CUR division… by far. If you would like, you too can donate to the work of the division.

New officers

CURAH’s new chair is Alexa Sand (Utah State University); the vice-chair is Ian F. MacInnes (Albion College), and the secretary is Michelle Hayford (University of Dayton).
