Public Presentation & General Requirements
Each Chancellor’s Distinguished Fellow will be asked to present a public presentation that will be open to the broader university community. Schools and departments are responsible for securing the venue and making travel and hotel arrangements for the Fellow. The units are responsible for submitting the expense forms to Accounting with copies of the expense forms submitted to Academic Affairs. They are also responsible for providing Academic Affairs with the necessary publicity information and vitae materials. All presentation announcements should clearly identify the program as the “Chancellor’s Distinguished Fellows Series.”
