Petronio-Bantz Graduate Student Travel Award
Overview
The Petronio-Bantz Graduate Student Travel Award was created by Professor Sandra Petronio and former Chancellor Charles R. Bantz who believe that the ability to present research, participate in scholarly meetings and conferences, and have the opportunity to network is essential in the professional development of graduate students, particularly those who wish to enter academia. Thus, the award supports graduate students in the Department of Communication Studies at the IU School of Liberal Arts in Indianapolis who will be presenting at scholarly conferences and academic meetings. Allowable expenses include but are not limited to conference travel, accommodations, and conference registration fees.
