Research Administration Round Table: Tuesday, May 15, 2007 at 1:30 in 701 Clark

In more of a true "Round Table" fashion, this month we would like to invite the research community to an open forum where you can bring those questions that you are just dying to ask the friendly folks from Sponsored Program Services in Day Hall. The setting will be casual with tables and chairs, so come, take some time to put a face with that voice or email contact. Much of the staff from SPS-A will be in attendance and we would like to offer this as a chance to bring you into the session. Our Deputy Director, Pamela Plotkin, will be providing a brief SPS update at the beginning of the hour, but the rest of the time is yours! As always, for those folks that are a little shy, you can provide your questions ahead of time and they will be brought to the session, anonymously. So, put those thinking caps on and join us at the next Round Table!

As an extra treat, light refreshments will be served. See you on the 15th.

Research Administration Round Table Discussion Survey

As always, we value your input. If you have comments about the Round Tables, please take a couple of minutes to complete the very brief Round Table Survey. Your answers to the three survey questions will help us develop an effective Research Administration Round Table for the campus research administration community.
