University Budget Advisory Committee Call for Proposals

Friday, March 7, 2025, 9:00am

TO: Campus Community
FR: Emily F. Cutrer, Interim President

As Sonoma State University moves forward with planning for the 2025-26 academic year, we want to be prepared should additional funding become available.

To solicit ideas from the campus community, the University Budget Advisory Committee (UBAC) is announcing a Call for Proposals for consideration. Eligible proposals will be reviewed by UBAC members, with the addition of an administrator from Athletics, and UBAC will provide a recommendation to me. 

As a campus committed to stewardship of place and the liberal arts and sciences, successful proposals will focus on the following Guiding Principles:

  • Student Success
  • Equity, Inclusion and Belonging
  • Innovative and Sustainable Future
  • Engagement with our North Bay Community

To be eligible for review, proposals must be submitted by a current Sonoma State student, faculty member, or staff member; signed off by a Vice President; and related to one or more of the following:

  1. A new or existing academic program
  2. A new or existing co-curricular program
  3. An existing campus unit or department

Proposals may be submitted using this Qualtrics link. The deadline for submission is Friday, March 28, 2025.
