They depend on proposals for released time, research funds, conference reimbursement, and in some cases, a significant part of their livelihoods. What they may fail to realize is that their students also live and work in proposal-heavy worlds at work, in school, or within the context of hobbies and interests. Of course, most college students do not see themselves as writers. They are not comfortable with their own writing; consequently, they do not understand the importance and power of proposals until they are given the opportunity to explore the form and its utility in their lives.
