Research administration is always a demanding job, but this year has seen more changes and challenges than normal. In recognition of the important role research administrators play in supporting the university’s research mission, the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research (OVCR) is hosting a special, in-person RA Forum with service awards, pastries, pups, and prizes.
Please join us for Coffee, Cake, and Canines!
