The Experience Committee invites proposals for events to be included on the Experience Calendar for any given semester.
The mission of the Experience Program is to offer programming that highlights and emphasizes the linkages between liberal arts and cultural, intellectual, political and social life of the world outside the walls of the college.
top
- Anyone who is a member of the Albright campus community can propose an experience event.
- Student sponsored events must have the approval of and contact information for a faculty, staff or administrative advisor.
top
Proposals must be submitted by the 15th of the month prior to the month that the event will take place. For example, a proposal for an event in December must be submitted no later than November 15th. LATE SUBMISSIONS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.
If two events are proposed for the same date and time, the earlier proposal will be given first consideration.
top
Events that are approved for Experience credit meet the following criteria:
- Content of the event enriches the academic, intellectual and cultural life of the college community.
- Content of the event serves to fulfill the mission of the experience program.
- Is not exclusionary of any campus constituency.
- Lasts a minimum of 60 minutes.
A note on films and sports as experience events.
Films will only be accepted as experience events if the requesting group has received exhibition rights AND has arranged for a speaker to discuss the film.
Sporting events will be accepted as experience events on the condition that there is an accompanying lecture AND that the requesting group has adequately justified the events as learning experiences on the proposal form.
A note on "Boxing"
The experience committee reserves the right to box events that are similar in nature and that come from a single requesting source.
If an organization specifically does NOT want an event boxed, they must make that clear on the proposal form and give reasons why the event is a stand-alone event.
Your submission form must be submitted on or before the deadline and MUST include:
- the title and topic of the event
- a detailed description of the event (this must be in good English with correct spelling and grammar or the proposal will be returned for revision - we use these on the webpage to promote YOUR events!).
- if you are proposing a speaker from off campus, please provide some information on the qualifications of that speaker.
- justification for how the event helps to fulfill the mission of the experience program by enriching the cultural, intellectual, and/or academic life of the college.
- the date and time
- a confirmed venue
- contact information for the event sponsor
- admission fee, if applicable
- request for funding, if applicable (see below)
