Information and Application

The Brandeis Pluralism Alliance (BPA) invites applications for new members to join the Pluralism Alliance Steering Committee, which is responsible for advising all of the initiative's activities. The Steering Committee also selects grant recipients for projects addressing issues of identity, pluralism and unity at Brandeis (see Grant Application), and its members serve as liaisons to grants recipients and organize Pluralism Alliance meetings for representatives of student organizations (and other faculty, staff and students) to share and discuss ongoing initiatives.

All Steering Committee members must rate the received applications by Sunday, January 31, 2010 and attend Steering Committee meeting scheduled on Tuesday, February 9, 2010.  Steering Committee members must also participate in one or more grant application or grant recipient workshops each academic year and assist in publicity and outreach efforts in support of BPA projects.

Completed online applications are due Sunday, November 8, 2009.
