The School of Science is pleased to launch a two-year pilot Science Quality of Life (SQoL) program designed to build community within the School, promote inclusiveness for students, staff, and faculty of diverse identities, backgrounds, and abilities, and support
the physical, emotional, and intellectual well-being of our community members. The program’s goals are to:</div>

The SQoL program encourages projects that have wide appeal among School community members, but will also consider proposals that focus on specific groups if they cut across existing departmental and programmatic lines. Projects need not be ambitious in scope,
so long as they encourage positive connections within the community. The Selection Committee will consider proposals of all sizes, but generally caps projects at $3K per year. In addition, proposals that have matching funds from other sources will be viewed
favorably by the selection committee.</div>
