<p class="xxmsonormal" style="margin:0in">Volume 8 is the accolades issue. It is such a pleasure to see our colleagues acknowledged for the university- and field-leading work they do. The fact that our faculty received 5 of the 22 COVID-19 Research Innovation

<li class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo1">The college received its GE allocation of 65 positions from the university last week. These positions will be allocated in the next couple of weeks to the four academic units to help
fund their PhD students. By the way, academic department heads and deans have been working on strategies for allocating GEs to units since early October. The work has been arduous, because this same allocation fell at least 20 GEs short of those needed for
the current academic year. More to come.</li></ul>
