Dear Rafael C. Alvarado and Todd Bryant,
On behalf of the NITLE Eastern Advisory Council, I am writing to inform you that the Council is pleased to award Dickinson College with $25,400 to implement your project “Games and Simulations for Situated Learning the Liberal Arts Classroom.” Per the guidelines of the Instructional Innovation Fund, the award is being made to the proposing group’s lead institution. Dickinson College will provide all information and administrative support for the project. This IIF program runs through June 2008. Work supported by awards must be completed and reports submitted by June 30, 2009. You should note that at the conclusion of the planning process unused funds must be returned to NITLE.

The Council expressed strong support for the proposal, which it viewed as demonstrating intent to engage in the types of projects and programs that the Council desires to see implemented. The participating institutions and principal participants in the project represent a valuable and diverse array of roles and disciplines, and the interdisciplinary collaborations reflected in the proposal also represent an objective of the Advisory Council. In general, the Council viewed the proposal as well-constructed and exemplifying the work that it anticipates supporting in the context of the NITLE Instructional Innovation Fund.

Per the requirements of the Advisory Council, you must submit a final report. To submit this report to the Council, please send it to me at michael.nanfito@nitle.org.

Sincerely,

Michael Nanfito
Participant Relations Coordinator
NITLE
