Dear Colleagues,

I hope this finds you having a satisfying and productive semester.

I write to provide you with An Assessment of the COEHD Research: Typologies, Productivity, Perceived Needs

and Strategic Goals (2018-2028), a White Paper prepared by our College Research and Development

Committee. This technical report is based on a range of research undertaken by the Committee--surveys, interviews,

and institutional report comparisons. Our Committee met every 2-weeks during 2017-2018 and portions of 2018-2019 to plan,execute, and write the attached 80-page White Paper.

I write to share the report with the COEHD Faculty and to thank the contributors who are all

active research-scholars, representing each of our Departments.

They gave time away from their own research projects to help us characterize the status of research in the College

and to help make recommendations for 2018-2028.

Thank you to: Amaury Nora, Jessica Lloyd-Hazlett, Michael Karcher, Juan Nino, Nathern Okilwa, Guan Saw, Jorge Solis, Erica Sosa, Monica Trevino.

 

Respectful for all you do to make this a great College, I remain

Cordially yours,
