Message from the Associate Dean for Research

Over the past year, the Office of Research has gathered input from departments on their communications goals. This feedback is informing a number of new initiatives within the college; the first being the College’s research website.

As the front door for potential and current students, faculty, staff, and donors, the research website has been redesigned to highlight the truly excellent research and research training taking place within the College.

I am excited to announce that this website is now live and features the following new sections:

Community-Engaged Research: highlighting the impacts we are making across the state in partnership with our communities.

Student/Alumni Profiles: highlighting the various research experiences of our students and how our alumni have turned those experiences into careers.

Faculty Experts Directory: add your profile to connect with potential collaborators or students looking for mentors.

College of Arts & Sciences Portal: using UNM login credentials, faculty can access a number of internal support functions, including:

· financial reports for their grant indices;

· the ability to schedule time with College accounting staff;

· information about the Sandia University Partnership Network;

· resources to assist with the proposal development process; and

· the ability to submit events to be added to the research website.

Please submit additional content at any time for these sections, and others, so that we can be sure to highlight as much of your work as possible. This website is intended to be an evolving showcase of the College’s research excellence so your input is invaluable.

Until next month,

Christopher D. Lippitt, PhD
