Dear LGS Students,

 

Due to the conditions surrounding responses to COVID-19, including concerns related to travel and social distancing, we are temporarily suspending the LGS Professional Development Support Funds (PDS) application portal, and we are not accepting PDS applications until further notice.

 

Emory has now indefinitely suspended all official and previously authorized international travel and is strongly urging our campus community to postpone all university-sponsored domestic travel. Please view Emory’s latest travel restrictions here.

 

We are continuing to monitor the situation and observe all guidance from Emory related to the Coronavirus. We will reopen the program when University directives advise that it is safe to do so. We do not know when that will be. Please continue to collect the necessary materials to apply for PDS funds once the program reopens. We intend to provide enhanced access to PDS funds at that time.

 

During the PDS program suspension period, we will adjust the window for submitting follow-up documentation and reports. For trips/projects that have occurred during February and March 2020, you will now have up to 60 days from the end date to submit these items.

 

Like many other disruptions related to the Coronavirus, this guidance may interfere with your professional plans in the coming months. We are very grateful for your patience and understanding.

 

If you have any specific questions, please direct them to lgs.profdev@emory.edu.  

 

With much appreciation,
