Foundation Professor & Associate Vice President for Research
I help the university's researchers get more proposals and funding and then enable their research.
I talk to department chairs, deans, and faculty at the university to understand what we have and what we need. I encourage the development of multidisciplinary projects, help faculty make connections to other colleagues and opportunities, and develop resources, infrastructure, and student involvement to support research and scholarly activities. My daily contribution is to dissolve administrative barriers while fostering a culture that serves research.
Here's the first step for college students
Learn how to manage your time so that you can devote time every day to your studies. College is a journey, not the final destination, but this time in college is very important in molding your future, through your coursework and the extra-curricular skills you'll learn along the way. If you have a job or other obligations, make sure you're still giving a significant amount of time and effort to your college life.
