Development FUND 2005-2006 Report by Mark O’Grady, FDF Committee, Chair May 2, 2006 The Faculty Development Fund Committee evaluated 49 applications from which 35 were selected for funding. Awards ranged from $1000 to $3500, for a total of $65,000. Applications varied in subject matter, reflecting the diverse faculty body which provides Pratt’s rich educational experience. Projects selected for individual funding included such proposals as researching and documenting Contemporary Public Art & Urban Development in Beijing, China; website development for Sustainable Pratt; a documentary film, When Worlds Collide, on the photographer John Coffer; supplementary support for several notable exhibitions; presentations of professional papers and book developments. Interdisciplinary projects selected for collaborative funding included new course proposals such as an Architecture and Film/Video course and a course entitled Art & Design for Social Change: Theories and Methods.
