The Taft-Nicholson Environmental Humanities Education Center (TNEHEC) and the Vice President for Research will award the faculty member $1,000-$2,000 (depending on length of stay) which is intended to cover lodging, travel to and from the Center, food, and supplies.  Fellows will be housed in Thoreauvian cabins in University Village.  The Village consists of 11 cabins, a bathhouse and a kitchen/dining cabin.  Fellows may purchase meals for $65/day when courses are in session at the TNEHEC.
