Goal - $200,000 per annum
Queen鈥檚 provides funding for teaching assistants, based on a relatively high ratio of students to instructors, which we are supplementing with this fund. We need approximately 40 sponsors per year, for the current complement of about 90+ undergraduate students in each year of the program, to ensure a high-quality learning environment in our laboratories, field trips and field schools. The fund benefits the students who work as Teaching Assistants, and the students being taught.
The Named TAship program is based on annual donations of $5000, or more, typically pledged for at least three years.
At this time:
Each $5000 donation adds two graduate or four undergraduate students to the teaching team.
The current level of funding is $90,000 per year (45% of our target of $200,000).
