Lucyle Hook Travel Grant

Barnard seniors seeking funding for travel and other research expenses related to their senior project can apply to the Committee on Honors for the Lucyle Hook Travel Grant. These expenses may be incurred during the summer prior to the senior year as well as during the senior year. The senior should submit a full description of her essay or project with a detailed estimate of expenses, along with a letter of recommendation from her senior essay or project advisor, to the attention of Dean Karen Blank. The nomination deadline usually is around November 10. About $2,000 is available each year, with most grants in the $200-$300 range.

CETE: The Consortium for Excellence in Teacher Education

Barnard is a member of CETE, an association of teacher education programs in selective, private liberal arts colleges and universities. CETE institutions share a commitment to a humanistic, inquiry-oriented approach to teacher education. Many CETE institutions also share the working assumption that "small is beautiful" especially in the development and nurturance of a community of reflective practitioners. Because CETE members advocate high "standards without standardization," we endorse multiple pathways to teacher preparation, and each of our institutions has a distinctive thematic emphasis.

Members of CETE include Brown, Harvard, Princeton, Wellesley, Bates, Bryn Mawr and Haverford, Middlebury, Smith, Wheaton, Bowdoin, Connecticut, Mount Holyoke, Swarthmore, Yale, Brandeis, Darthmouth, UPENN and Vassar.
