Travel Support Grant Requests

The Council of Library Deans (COLD) voted in favor of Chancellor’s Office support for those campuses that may be in financial need of travel grants to attend system-wide ULMS meetings. These allocations are meant to support but not necessarily cover the entirety of the cost of travel.

The general allocation is:

a)      Travel support for a 2-day meeting            $600

b)      Travel support for a 1-day meeting requiring significant travel (e.g. northern campuses to a meeting at the Chancellor’s Office)           $300

c)      Travel support for a 1-day meeting requiring local travel (e.g. southern campuses outside of the LA area to the Chancellor’s Office)    $100

Allocated funds will be disbursed to the campus. The library dean will determine the allocation of the funds within his/her library.

All attendees are expected to follow CSU and local campus travel expense reimbursement policy, and should submit their completed travel claim with all necessary receipts to the person or department at their library/campus that processes travel reimbursement. Do not submit travel claims to the Chancellor’s Office.

Library deans requesting a travel grant should submit the following information to Alice Kawakami, Director, Strategic Library Initiatives, akawaka@calstatela.edu.

•  Name of campus, name of library dean, meeting date, meeting name, meeting location, and amount requested.
