Professional Development
Southeast wants all students to have meaningful experiential learning as part of their education. Southeast has established a fund to support professional experiences for students. The fund helps make possible the participation by students in real-world, professional presentations of the results of research and other creative work. The program supports travel, lodging and other expenses related to these activities (subject to university policies governing faculty/staff travel) on a competitive basis. This program is run directly by the Funding for Results Team as a permanent program.
