In our effort to streamline communication and get important information out to you in the best way possible, we have a new public channel in our Teams CoE Faculty & Staff site. Our new channel is CoE Faculty Affairs and Research where you will find relevant information about research funding, awards opportunities, and general faculty business.
Feel free to get in touch if you have ideas about resources you’d like to hear more about either in our newsletter or on Teams.
All the best for a rich and vibrant fall season.
