Approved Weekend Workshops 2010-2011
One of the services EARCOS provides to its member schools throughout the year is the sponsorship of two-day institutes and workshops for faculty and administration. The topics for these institutes are determined according to the needs of members. EARCOS will provide reimbursement for a consultant’s airfare, honorarium for two days, and per diem for three days for lodging, meals, and incidentals (up to $3,000.00) to schools wishing to host an EARCOS weekend workshop.
