Among religious groups, evangelical Protestants are the most likely to say climate change is not a serious problem. How can this group be more effectively engaged?
Bob Inglis, former U.S. Representative from South Carolina, is Executive Director of republicEn.org, an organization dedicated to conservative solutions to climate change.
David G. Pollart Center for Arts and Humanities (CAH) is organizing a Grant Writing Workshop for graduate students. Dr. Becky James, Research and Development Manager of the Grants and Fellowship Support, College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), Washington State University, will facilitate this workshop.
Dr. James will demonstrate how the graduate students can use Pivot-RP (a funding database) to search for funding opportunities and discuss the step-by-step process of Grant Writing. This event is meant for the students at the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS). However, graduate students from any discipline who are interested to learn about Pivot-RP and basics of grant writing are welcome to join.
