If you are presenting at a conference in the United States, you will be reimbursed by the college as funds permit up to $850. Travel outside the continental United States and Canada will be reimbursed up to $1,200. If you actively participate in more than one meeting during the academic year , you will receive an additional allowance of up to $500. Limited funds are also provided for<br \/>\nattendance without participation. [a]For extraordinary, high-impact, prestigious, and\/or career-changing opportunities that cause your travel to exceed the normal limits, additional funding may be available from the Dean of the Faculty, typically on a matching basis; email or phone the Dean with details. For more information on professional travel expenses please refer to the Faculty Handbook (B.
