Out for Undergraduate Business Campus Sponsorship Program
At
the 2010 Out for Undergraduate Business Conference (OUBC), OPM Director
John Berry said, "Get involved, wherever you are, whatever field you
pursue. Get involved. Because the tree of liberty grows in one
direction: out, by adding rings. What will you add?"
Inspired by John Berry’s words, the OUBC Executive Board is excited to announce that this year it has apportioned a set of funds to be used to sponsor undergraduates across the nation to help them make an impact in their local LGBT communities and answer that very question.
We believe building a successful and vibrant LGBT community in the business world starts locally. As such, we are excited about this opportunity to help build LGBT community locally by supporting and empowering students in their LGBT focused initiatives, projects and events.
Guidelines and eligibility
Applications to receive support are open to any undergraduate with an idea, event, program or cause which fosters the LGBT business community on their campus. The OUBC is seeking to support new or existing efforts that further this mission as best as possible. Example events may include, but are in no way limited to, financial assistance for an LGBT key note speaker to come to campus, campus events / awareness, LGBT business networking event etc. Please feel free to work with other students, but please designate a point person for us to communicate with.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email info@outforbusiness.com.
Application process
Applications for campus sponsorship will be accepted on a rolling basis from now until August 1st 2011. They will be reviewed upon successful receipt of all application materials in a timeline manner with a goal of communicating a decision no later than four weeks after the application.
In some cases, the review committee may request additional information; prompt responses to all such inquires will help speed the decision process.
