Graduate Grant Writing Workshop featuring Cristanne Miller

904 Clemens Hall [HYBRID]

The UB Humanities Institute is hosting a workshop for graduate students in the arts, humanities, and qualitative social sciences on writing fellowship and grant applications. Join Cristanne Miller, SUNY Distinguished Professor Emerita of English and recent NEH grant awardee, who will share her insights into the grant writing and application process.

Following the presentation, there will be time for a Q&A session to address specific questions and needs.

If you intend to apply for a grant or fellowship soon, this is an ideal time to listen in and ask questions about finding resources and presenting your research to readers outside your field. Lunch will be provided for in-person participants who register by Nov. 5, 12 p.m.
