Hi everyone,
I hope the end of the semester is treating you well.
Thanks to the hard work of Stephanie Hudson, Mary Muchane, and the UMC design team, we’ve launched a new Wake Forest Research, Scholarly Inquiry, and Creative Work website to celebrate scholarship across campus and provide easier access to our research-related resources.
We want this site to accurately reflect the exceptional work of our faculty across all schools and College divisions. Given the project’s scope, we may have missed some items, so please let us know if anything is missing or needs correction. This will be an ongoing effort that we’ll continually maintain and improve.
This is also just phase one of a multi-part project. Stay tuned for a new section of the ORSP website for faculty, focused on the grant lifecycle with resources for each step. We hope to launch that by the end of the summer.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication to creating new knowledge.
-Kim
