With twelve days left in the semester, I want to extend my deep appreciation for everything you have done to advance our research mission this academic year. The work that you are doing is making a profound difference in our communities, starting right here on campus with our students. In just a few days, many of them will be going out into the world to make their own impacts, armed with the knowledge that they gained during their time here at UNM.
Over the course of this academic year, 47 undergraduate fellows had the opportunity to develop a research project with a faculty mentor thanks to the Arts & Sciences Support for Undergraduate Research Experiences (ASSURE) program. Since it began in the Fall of 2022, the ASSURE program has helped inspire two Truman Scholars and one Goldwater Scholar, which are just an example of the impact that engaging with research is having on the success of our students.
I also want to remind you all that the Community-Based Research Initiative (CBRI), which is made possible through a partnership with Center for Regional Studies, is closing applications for its next cycle today, May 1st. Information on how to submit is here. The first two recipients of CBRI are doing incredible things with the support they’ve received from this program.
The last issue of the Research Report for this academic year will be released next Monday, May 8th and will resume on a monthly basis for the summer beginning June 5th. I hope that the break allows you all the opportunity to get some much-needed time to focus on your families, your research, and anything else that brings you joy.
Congratulations to the students who will be graduating next week and to those who helped get them over the finish line.
Until next month,
