Letter from the Associate Dean for Research

CLippitt.jpg

Getting to highlight the work being done at the College of Arts & Sciences over the past month has only solidified my pride in this institution and I hope that it has done the same for you. The enthusiastic participation we have had in content submissions for the Research Report has been great to see and we look forward to you sharing more through ResearchWins@unm.edu.


This month, I'd like to congratulate the following on receiving the Spring 2022 Faculty Scholarship Time (FaST) award through the Office of the Vice President of Research's Faculty Success Program. In partnership with ADVANCE at UNM, this program provides faculty with a reduced teaching load for one semester to focus on the research, scholarship, and creative work interrupted by the pandemic.
