Faculty Advisor Duties
The Student Research Workshop is organized by the student
chairs, with guidance from the faculty advisor appointed by the ACL
conference General Chair. The faculty advisor is responsible for:
- overseeing the organization of the student research workshop and
providing suggestions to the student research chairs
- ensuring that ACL
student session policies are adhered to
- seeking funding for students to attend the ACL conference and in
particular the ACL Student Research Workshop
- overseeing the selection of students to receive travel funding
(see ACL policy on general student
travel funding )
The faculty advisor is responsible for submitting proposals for funding
to external funding agencies. ACL-05 proposal to NSF
provides a sample proposal from a recent conference. However,
efforts should be extended to funding agencies in Europe and
Asia, since NSF restrictions can limit the travel funds that can be
provided to students from outside the United States. The faculty
advisor should begin seeking funding immediately upon appointment to the
position.
