<p class="m_-1293952258867824721xxmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">I'm very excited to announce our inaugural call for applications for graduate student travel funding. We are able to offer awards of up to $500 for graduate students who
are presenting their research (paper, poster or creative performances) at an academic conference. I've initially allocated $5,000 so that we can make at least 10 awards to graduate students, but I'll look to allocate additional funding if we get an enthusiastic
response. The details and the application are attached.</span><u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="m_-1293952258867824721xxmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Thanks for all that you do to mentor graduate student research, and I'm pleased that we can finally help cover the travel costs of our graduate students who are presenting
at professional meetings. As always, I'm grateful for the assistance of Ernest Smith in helping to develop the attached application form.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
