Funding Opportunity: Dialogues about Current Events
The Pace Center aims to support and provide funding to registered student organizations for small one-time events and projects that create a healthy culture of dialogue and engagement around current local, national, and/or global events.
We help undergraduate and graduate students make meaningful connections through learning, experience, and reflection in service and civic engagement.
