Message from the Associate Dean for Research

October 11 will mark the 2nd anniversary of this publication, and in honor of this milestone I want to thank all of you who have supported our efforts in amplifying your achievements by not only sharing your successes with us but those of your colleagues and students as well. Please continue to share new publications, faculty and staff highlights, new ideas, and your Punny Stories to ResearchWins@unm.edu so that we can keep shining a light on the important work you are doing in support of our mission.

Another anniversary that we will soon be celebrating is the first anniversary of the relaunch of the College’s research website on November 1. This site is an important vehicle for amplifying our research efforts externally and we need your help in ensuring that it remains so. If you have undergraduate and graduate students whose research you feel should be highlighted on this site, please send your recommendations to ResearchWins@unm.edu. The same goes for your alumni who have turned their research experiences here at UNM into thriving careers. These stories are not only important to share with current and potential students who may be considering research opportunities available to them at UNM, but also an important way to show the impacts that you are making on your students and alumni.

Finally, I want to take a moment to share a little bit about the Co-op Collaboration Series event that occurred last month as part of Grand Challenges Day and the Team Research Symposium. I had the honor of moderating a panel of five current and former students who blew me away with their powerful stories of how their research experiences have impacted their learning outcomes as well as their future career goals.

The panelists were:

Sa’angna Mi’ila Gollette

Undergraduate student

Earth & Planetary Sciences

2022-2023 Co-op Team Research Fellow

Meg Honnold,

Undergraduate student

Sociology & Criminology

2022-2023 ASSURE Fellow

Abrianna Morales

BA in Psychology and Sociology & Criminology (2023)

2022-2023 ASSURE Fellow

Andreanna Roros

Graduate student

Earth & Planetary Sciences

Museum Research Traineeship

Ashley Willis

Undergraduate student

Biology

2022-2023 Co-op Water Fellow

All of them exemplify the diversity of these experiences and I want to thank them for taking the time to share their personal stories behind why they do what they do. I hope that we can get them – and more like them – in front of students, faculty, and alumni to show just how much of a difference our students are making on our communities.

Until next month,

Christopher D. Lippitt, Ph.D.
