SUBJECT:

Research Initiative Workshop Discussion Forums are LIVE

The recent Strategic Planning Research Initiative Workshops were remarkably successful. To continue the development process, we have created a discussion forum for each Research Initiative Workshop on a dedicated website. These forums include a summary of comments made during discussions at each workshop. We encourage you to add comments to this discussion for the next two weeks (until March 14). Please share your ideas about the initiative topics, preferences and goals for the next steps in this process. We are particularly interested in identifying opportunities for which outside resources can be used to leverage our campus efforts.

Here are the links to each forum:

Understanding and Protecting the Planet:

We look forward to your comments and suggestions.
