Faculty, administrative staff and students are invited to propose particular experiences to meet the Service to the World requirement. Students should submit the proposal form to the Odyssey Office after it has been endorsed by a campus sponsor. New proposals are reviewed throughout the academic year. Proposals requesting funding are considered October 15 for spring projects, February 15 for summer projects, and April 15 for fall projects. Note for faculty: Any proposed course, module, project or activity must meet the criteria listed below.
Your proposal should explain how the experience meets the following criteria.
Will your project involve a provision of resources, goods, political access, or other services in response to serious human or environmental problems?
Is there a supervisor on site, or a Hendrix sponsor, who will help log and verify your hours?
Have you discussed with a relevant person in the Odyssey Office, or with a Hendrix sponsor, the particular form you want your reflection to take?
