New 2010-2011 Roving Professors RFP released! Download here.
In the spring semester 2010, CSID is funding five "Roving Professors." Rovers participate in classes outside their discipline by making interdisciplinary connections across UNT's various colleges and schools, exploring how different subjects interrelate, and illustrating the differences and synergies between disciplines. For information on the history of Roving Professors, click here.
