Conducting
Conferences, Seminars, Institutes, Workshops and Extra-Budget Programs
An
important mission of the University is to provide intellectual leadership to the
state of North Carolina and the Southeast by sponsoring conferences, seminars,
institutes and workshops on important issues and topics. Departments are
encouraged to initiate these activities in collaboration with the Office of
Continuing Education, Extension, and Summer Programs, which can provide
logistical and administrative support. These activities, including
administrative services provided by the University through the Office of
Continuing Education, Extension, and Summer Programs, are funded entirely from
participant fees, grants and contracts. Faculty members interested in planning
conferences, seminars, institutes and workshops should first receive the
endorsement of their department chairpersons or deans, and then contact the
Office of Continuing Education, Extension, and Summer Programs (207 King,
704-687-2424). The official University policies, Policy Statement #4,
“University Extension and Continuing Education Activities” and Policy
Statement #36, “Operation of Vehicles on University Business,” can be found
