The college’s C 3 Research Center offers support to enhance the entire continuum of faculty research and scholarly creative activities, from the initial spark of an idea to the delivery of a successful project. Ruthi Caldwell, M.A., helps faculty develop their ideas, find and apply for funding opportunities, and Lisa Westerbeck, M.P.A., supports faculty after they receive grants to help them manage their funded projects. Overall, the C 3 Center cuts across academic disciplines and University silos to build a sustainable culture of externally funded scholarship, creative activity and collaboration among faculty in the College of Fine Arts and Communication and beyond. Increasing Funding In addition to helping more faculty apply for traditional funding opportunities like internal and external grants, fellowships and government contracts, C 3 is on the forefront of innovative fundraising activities supported by the university. In June, our college launched one of the university’s frst crowdfunding campaigns and C 3 continues to support faculty and their teams to develop future campaigns.
