Highlights of 2006-2007

Research

As a research indicator, research funding raised this past year set a record exceeding $400 million, up $60 million for the year or 16%. Use of multi-disciplinary teams and targeted research efforts paid dividends.

The College of Chemical and Life Sciences has increased its research support about 30% for each of the last two years and Engineering raised more than $114 million last year.

Our goal for research funding raised is to top $450 million so this year's increase is significant. There is a lot of credit to spread around for this year's record.

Congratulations to all.
