Apply Now: Funding Support for Conference, Event and Programming
1/25/22

The College of Arts and Humanities (ARHU) is now accepting proposals seeking funding support for conferences, events and other programming sponsored by its academic departments, schools and centers. Learn more about proposal requirements below:

Description:
We recognize that such programming can take on a variety of forms, so the guidelines below are designed to be flexible. Events will be considered for College support when they (1) advance the College’s Strategic Priorities, (2) impact an audience beyond the sponsoring unit’s own faculty and students and (3) when the funds requested of the College are matched or exceeded by funding from the host unit and/or its other partners.Eligibility:
Tenure- and professional-track faculty, departments, and centers.Amount:
CEP funds may be used for a wide variety of programming; awarded amount will thus vary. Please use the below as a guideline for preparing budgets and bear in mind that CEP awards require a 1:1 match from the host unit and/or its partners.

  • In general, single events (guest speakers, film screenings, workshops, etc.) may receive up to $1,000 in matching College funds.
     
  • In general, larger conferences and other multi-day, multi-participant events may receive up to $4,000 in matching College funds.
     
  • Events that further the goals of Arts for All may receive up to $1,000 in additional funds (not requiring a match). These goals are: (1) to make the arts at the University of Maryland increasingly accessible to—and representative of—all students, (2) to connect the arts to other disciplines, especially the sciences and (3) to ensure that the arts are meaningfully engaged with issues of social justice and the grand challenges of our time.

Requirements:
CEP funding is designed to support events sponsored by the College’s academic departments, schools and centers; and for events that connect the College’s programs to other colleges and programs on campus. Events may include conferences, visiting speakers, guest artists, undergraduate activities and public programming. Priority will be given to units that did not receive support in the previous academic year and to a unit’s first request for funding in the current academic year. Units outside of the College may initiate funding requests, but they should have an ARHU partner and demonstrate how their event will impact the ARHU community. Funds may be used to support speaker expenses, production costs, rental fees and other approved expenses. All expenses must conform to University of Maryland requirements.How to Apply:
Send the following, as a single pdf, to pwarfiel@umd.edu. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. All materials should be single-spaced, with one-inch margins and 12-point font. 

  1. Project Description: Summarize the proposed event’s objectives, outcomes and connections to ARHU. Explain where the event is in the planning process and how the event will benefit students and faculty beyond a single department (three pages maximum).
  2. Budget and Funding Status: Provide a brief budget and explain all sources of support. Be sure to explicitly state (a) how much you are requesting from the College, (b) if you are requesting Arts for All enhancement funding and (c) how your request is matched by other units.
  3. Letters of support from the appropriate unit heads, explicitly stating the dollar amount of their support.

Post Award Expectations:
A two to three page report summarizing the event, its audience and its impact will be required one semester after the award. Awardees must acknowledge the College of Arts and Humanities and/or Arts for All in any publicity, marketing, reports, presentations or other materials produced by the funding.

For questions, contact Patrick Warfield at pwarfiel@umd.edu.

Patrick Warfield Appointed Associate Dean for Arts and Programming
9/13/21

By Jessica Weiss ’05

Dean Bonnie Thornton Dill has announced the appointment of Professor of Musicology Patrick Warfield as the Associate Dean for Arts and Programming in the College of Arts and Humanities, effective October 4, 2021.

The position is new to the college, responsible for supporting visual and performing arts units and programs, directing the new campuswide Arts For All initiative and administering programming across the arts and humanities.

“It’s a hugely important and exciting time for the arts at the University of Maryland, and I am so thrilled to have Patrick at the helm,” said Dean Thornton Dill. “He brings a strong record of research and teaching, a variety of administrative experiences and, most importantly, a deep belief in the power of the arts to address grand challenges.” 

Working closely with the dean, faculty and administrators, Warfield will provide administrative oversight, coordination, management, advocacy and facilitation of the creative, performing, visual and digital arts in the college and promote and represent the accomplishments and needs of the arts within the Office of the Dean, on the campus and beyond. 

As director of Arts For All, the new campuswide arts initiative and one of President Darryll J. Pines’ five bold actions to “move Maryland forward,” Warfield will work to expand arts programming across campus and galvanize collaborations between the arts, technology and social justice. In this position, Warfield will connect and facilitate activities of participating partners; support and ensure implementation of all aspects of the initiative; promote and amplify the visibility and impact of the initiative on campus, locally and nationally; and refine and elaborate the vision for the initiative over time. 

Warfield called the new role a “dream come true.”

“I look forward to rolling up my sleeves and building the faculty, staff and student coalitions that will allow the arts, the humanities and the sciences to flourish on campus, connect with one another deeply, and create a meaningful and positive impact on our world,” he said.

Warfield has taught musicology, the historical and cultural study of music, at the University of Maryland School of Music since 2009. He has also served as director of graduate studies and associate director in the School of Music, as well as on a number of campuswide committees. In the School of Music he helped to create the Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity, and Access committee, establish the Collington residency program, which sends two graduate students from the school to live and work as artists-in-residence at the nearby Collington Continuing Care Retirement Community, and worked to create partnerships with Prince George’s County Public Schools, including programs that helped to strengthen teacher training and provide virtual lessons during the pandemic.     

A scholar of American musical culture, primarily American music of the 19th and 20th centuries, Warfield is the author of two books on John Philip Sousa, an American composer and conductor known primarily for his band music and marches; he is currently working on a book on the United States Marine Band. His publications have appeared in The Journal of the American Musicological Society, American Music, The Journal of the Society for American Music and Nineteenth-Century Music Review.

Warfield is also an affiliate faculty member in the Department of American Studies.

He earned a Ph.D. and M.A. from Indiana University, both in musicology, and a B.M.E. in music education from Lawrence University.
