- Educator Grant and Bylaws: Division-Wide Vote Coming Soon
The FPD executive board has been revising the division bylaws, and an electronic vote will be taken among all division members at the beginning of March. Included with the revision will be a new Engineering Educator Grant program, intended to recognize and support students, staff, and faculty who have a focus or close tie to first-year programs by helping cover their costs of attending the annual conference. Please review the suggested revisions to the bylaws attached in this email. Look for a link to vote on the revisions to the bylaws in next month’s FPD Notes.
