Initiatives & Grants

  • Ticket Request Initiative

    The ICSA Ticket Request Initiative enables faculty from our depts of Art & Public Policy, Cinema Studies, and Performance Studies to apply for funds to attend curriculum-related performances, museums or lectures within the NYC area. The program is designed to encourage faculty to take small groups of students to shows or exhibits (or anything else that might involve a ticket purchase). The aim is to fund trips to events that will enhance and relate to topics students are studying, so the events are required to be related to course curriculum.
