Research Council Forum Series

In this time of transitions and conflicts, Faculty Research, Creative and Scholarly Activity are affected. The Campus/System interface is in play in many issues that affect budgets, facilities, properties, education, research space, faculty collaborations, services, specialized personnel and graduate students. Within the UTK campus as flagship of the University, we as faculty have leadership and educational roles to play, and need adequate resources to be productive and achieve excellence. Providing a space for dialogue with one another, the Research Council is sponsoring a Forum via a series of Panels and Open Discussions in a town hall format, under the title ”Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity: The Road Ahead” .

The Research Forum series is open to all Faculty members and will begin in March and continue into the Fall of 2008. The first Panel is on Wednesday March 5 at 4:00-5:30 in 307 SERF. An announcement will be made on this website for each of the Panels. We hope for a large turnout and active audience participation.
