I write proposals for grants to support College priorities, from institutional or departmental initiatives to individual faculty and staff members’ projects. Doing this well requires me to collaborate closely with a wide range of members of the Carleton community, and to represent the college in work with foundations, government agencies, and other colleges and universities.
