Message From the

Associate Dean for Research

The 2nd annual Research & Discovery Week is in full swing and if you haven’t already, I encourage you to check out the incredible line-up of events that are planned for this year, where research and scholarship from across our entire campus will be highlighted through symposiums, workshops, and presentations that are sure to inspire. Six of these events are being hosted by College of Arts & Sciences departments and programs and I hope that you can find the time in your busy schedules to check out some of the incredible sessions they have brought to campus: Africana Studies, the Museum Research TraineeshipASPIRE, Chemistry & Chemical Biology, and the Museum of Southwestern Biology have all prepared some outstanding events. More information, including registration, is available here.


Last week, we announced that applications for the Arts & Sciences Support for Undergraduate Research Experiences (ASSURE) program is accepting applications for the spring 2024 cohort. As of this semester, 108 students over the past two years have had the opportunity to work directly with a faculty mentor to nurture and enhance their research experiences. Please encourage your undergraduate students to apply; that first semester engaging with real research is transformative for those student’s education and career. Applications are due December 1 through InfoReady.


With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I’d like to extend my gratitude to you all for you many contributions you make to our scholarly community. Events like those being hosted during Research & Discovery Week and getting students out doing research through programs like ASSURE make us all better scholars, teachers, and students. These are but two examples of the myriad contributions you all make to our scholarly community are exactly why WeR1 at the College of Arts & Sciences.


Until next month,

Christopher D. Lippitt, Ph.D
