MEEN Research Newsletter
The Research and Strategic Initiatives team puts together a newsletter that goes out each Friday during the Fall and Spring semesters. This is sent to the MEEN faculty and anyone else who requests access. This newsletter provides critical information to maintain and grow the university's research enterprise by sharing a multitude of opportunities for faculty and their students.
We share funding opportunities, events, webinars, professional development opportunities, awards and more. To be added to our list serve, email Taylor Northcut.
