Office of Research & Sponsored Programs Summer 2025 Newsletter
Beginning in AY 25–26, the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs will publish two newsletters per year, one in both Fall and Spring, rather than four. Our newsletters will continue to feature research news, faculty achievements, project highlights, and funding opportunities. Moving forward, procedural updates, policy changes, and office news will be shared through Axios HQ, a new email platform we’ll use alongside our research portal to ensure more timely updates.
