Arctic Visiting Speakers Series | Expectations and Deliverables

As a condition for participating in the Arctic Visiting Speakers' Series, the host, the speaker, and ARCUS are expected to sign an agreement prior to the visit. The agreement outlines the reimbursement procedures, schedule of events, and deliverables. The deliverables are:

• Host agrees to acknowledge the National Science Foundation Office of Polar Programs and ARCUS in all promotional materials.
• Host agrees to make every effort to video tape the main lecture and send ARCUS a copy.
• Host agrees to send copies of photographs, fliers, or any other promotional materials to ARCUS.
• Host agrees to collect data on the number of attendees and audiences for each presentation. (We also encourage getting feedback from the attendees about the speaker presentation.)
• Speaker agrees to fill out a Speaker Profile for the Speakers' Bureau. The form is available for downloading or can be filled out online.
• Host and Speaker agree to complete a host evaluation form or speaker evaluation form following the visit. ARCUS in turn uses the information from the evaluation and furnishes it to the National Science Foundation. Both forms are available for downloading or can be filled out online.
