Mideast studies and
religion offer grants
Students interested in studying or working Israel or earning an
internship in social ethics or community service have a couple of
ways to accomplish those goals.
The Dorot Travel Grant provides up to $1,000 of travel expenses
to students who wish to study or work in Israel. The only requirement
is that the applicant be enrolled in a formal program. The grants
are offered by the departments of religion and Middle Eastern studies.
The application deadline is March 21.
The Jack Boozer and Herman Noether Funds help undergraduate, graduate
and professional students from all parts of the University pursue
internships in social ethics and community service.
The funds are sponsored by the religion department and are for
a maximum of $1,000. For more information, contact religions
David Blumenthal (404-727-7545) or Bobbi Patterson (404-727-2571).
The application deadline is March 21.
Online survey gauges
academic integrity
President Bill Chaces specially appointed Committee on Academic
Integrity has designed a brief survey to solicit feedback from Emory
undergraduates.
The survey, which is posted online, can be accessed via a temporary
link on the internal homepage. It features only a few questions
intended to measure general attitudes and observations about academic
honesty on campus.
The committee is trying to verify anecdotal evidence that
academic integrity here is not as strong as it could be, said
Susan Frost, vice president for strategic planning.
Frost said the committee hopes 20 percent of Emorys roughly
6,000 undergraduates will complete the survey, and she urged faculty
members to inform their students about it and encourage them to
participate.
