Scholarship and
grants, hold the
spam
Balancing act:
making it to your
first conference
Gaudy, flashing advertisements and stock
photographs of attractive students should be
familiar to any past seeker of financial assistance
online – they usually portend the menace of
1,001 spam e-mails. While Scholarships and
Grants (www.scholarshipsandgrants.us) –
recently listed on our Office of Student
Financing’s excellent “Searchable Scholarship
Opportunities” webpage – may appear to possess
a similar aesthetic, beneath its exterior lies a
viable resource for students seeking assistance in
financing their education.
Being a successful graduate student doesn’t
end with straight A’s. We’re all expected to
work on projects outside course work,
padding that CV. Participating in
conferences is a crucially important
extracurricular activity (for reasons why
check out our first issue at www.cgu.edu/
thepedant). Although balancing schoolwork
and life leaves little time for conference
traveling. No need, taking part in CGU’s
own annual conference might be just the
ticket.
Scholarships and Grants connects
students to relevant funding opportunities
offered by various organizations, while
delivering a minimum of the advertising
fluff, such as the contests and “special
offers” that many scholarship and grant
websites are synonymous with.
The website’s design is straightforward
and uncomplicated, with scholarships
organized by field of study. Each section
lists regularly updated links to new
opportunities. With promotions funded by
organizations such as the Veterans of
Foreign Wars, the OP Loftbed Company,
and the American Nudist Research
Library, the offerings range from the
traditional to the surreal.
On Friday, March 4, CGU will hold
its 12th annual Student Research
Conference and Art Exhibition.
Hosted by the Office of Student Life
and Diversity (formerly the Minority
Mentor Program), the event is open
to all students of the Claremont
Colleges and beyond.
This year’s theme, The Balancing Act:
Theory & Practice, addresses the
challenges scholars face in separating
research methodology from activism.
Research methods typically demand
an unbiased commitment and
detachment from a subject of study.
Ironically, this distances a researcher
from their subject and is often at
odds with their personal investment.
With a long tradition of dialogue and
discourse, this annual conference
encourages emerging scholars from
all fields of study to actively
participate in a transdisciplinary
conversation that aims to establish
new ways of incorporating theory
and practice.
Proposals of 250-300 words are
currently being accepted (with a brief
CV). A more detailed list of proposal
requirements and conference
information is available at
www.cgu.edu/mmp.
The conference schedule will include
an art exhibition from CGU student
artists, approximately five forums, a
keynote speaker, discussion panels,
and a luncheon.
This is an excellent opportunity for
professional development and to
share research with peers and faculty
to generate constructive feedback
and publicity. Even if you don’t have
time to present this semester, show up
and support your peers; ask
questions, learn what people are
researching, and get ideas for next
year’s conference.
Additional information is provided on
grants and essay contests, but special
notice should be paid to each listing’s
eligibility requirements, as some
organizations have specific age and
education requirements or are seeking
specific qualifications.

The Lonely
Student’s
Guide to
joining and
starting a
club at CGU
by Rachel Tie
As a commuter school, feeling like you’re part
of a community at CGU can be fleeting.
Many students come just for class and leave,
drawn away by work, family, or the
worsening traffic on the 10. As such,
romantic visions of hours in the quad – with
or without someone strumming an acoustic
guitar – are often at odds with the realities of
graduate life. But where organic communities
may be lacking, intentionally conceived
communities are thriving at CGU in the
form of clubs, groups, and activities.
Here at the Pedant, we set out to
discover what groups are on campus
and how one might get involved.
Apart from professional
organizations – which focus on
vocational or academic development
– there are at least 14 groups on
campus with an ideological, lifestyle,
or hobbyist base, and the consensus
among participants is that whatever
the club, the benefits of membership
far outweigh the time lost on
studying.
Ladies and gentlemen, your 2010 CGU Flames!
“When people have fun and create
friendships with others who have a
similar interest, they experience
positive emotions,” says Dulay.
“These positive emotions, according
to Fredrickson, can expand a person's
thought-action-repertoire, which is
another way of saying that a person
can potentially think and behave
more creatively. This creativity can
then build physical, social, and
cognitive resources from which a
person can draw. In other words,
when people are having fun and
making friends on the softball field or
elsewhere, the resulting positive
emotions can improve their quality of
life.”
CGU Flame teammate Anna
Fagergren cites the monastic
character of graduate life as her
impetus for joining the team.
“I can get individualistic in my
studies. The team has been invaluable
to me for a sense of interdependence.
We are social creatures and
interactivity can provide a balance to

“wine lovers” – don’t worry, we had

tastings together? Start a wineappreciation guild and the GSC may
foot the bill. Although various
schools have funding set aside for
student organizations, their support
can often be limited to professional
development. Having these types of
resources is great, but getting funding
through colleges and departments for
a club that is not related to your
academic field can be tough. The

for supporting student-run clubs of
any variety, and is eager to see more

The service is available by appointment
only (that you’ll make sometime
between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Mondays
or from 9 a.m. to noon on Thursdays for
one or two hour blocks), and may
require the clearing of a few

with the Office of Advancement’s
Senior Research Analyst Michael

and give a five-to-10 minute tutorial on
the website to first-time users. After
that, you’re free to roam foundation

After you’ve found a handful of
promising leads, you’ll need to draft
letters of inquiry and grant proposals.
While Urquidez can’t help with any
inquiries, the CGU Writing Center can
assist in drafting and editing written
proposals. It also provides the

The Transdisciplinary Studies
Program is accepting proposals for
the 2010-2011 Hillcrest
Transdisciplinary Research Awards.
The awards are designed to fund and
encourage student transdisciplinary
research and collaboration. Ranging
from $500 to $1,500 per group,
awards will be very competitive –
granted from a limited pool of funds
– so get on it!
Eligible groups must contain three or
more students representing at least
three disciplines and, preferably, two
schools at CGU. Proposals should
include a description of the project,
plan of activities and goals, list of
participants with a description of
their research agendas, summary of
anticipated expenses, explanation of
the transdisciplinary nature of the
project, and a CV for each
participant.
Students who receive funding must
also schedule a public presentation
for the CGU community about the
results of their collaborative projects.
Presentations may include public
colloquia and discussions, poster
sessions, exhibitions, or other
formats.

Transdisciplinary Reading
Groups
Proposals for transdisciplinary
reading groups are now being
accepted for spring 2011. Grants of
$500 will be given to students and
faculty groups to undertake readings
and research across the disciplines on
a given topic. These grants may be
used to pay for books, refreshments,
and other related expenses.
Transdisciplinary reading groups
should consist of students and faculty
from at least three disciplines,
preferably distributed across two or
three schools at CGU. Priority will be
given to topics that show promise of
becoming the focus for future
transdisciplinary courses as well as
proposals that combine quantitative
and interpretive approaches.
Proposals should indicate research
topic, readings, and names of
participants with information about
their schools/fields, as well as the
name of the convener (who will
submit receipts for reimbursement no
later than June 10, 2011).!A schedule
of meeting dates should also be
included. Groups should plan to meet
