<p class="MsoNormal"><b> </b>Dear COE Community,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m currently in beautiful San Diego attending the Gatlinburg Conference on Research in Developmental Disabilities. This is a conference I’ve attended every year for 26 years (even years with infants in tow or via Zoom during the pandemic).
This research community is inspiring and serves as an intellectual hub for multidisciplinary innovation in research that spans genetics, neurology, education, health services, psychology, communication sciences, and the like. The conference has been funded,
in part, through a conference grant from NIH/NICHD. I’ve brough numerous students to this conference over the years, and last night had dinner with three former students who are now faculty and scholars in their own right. I love this conference; but this
year hits different. There are no NIH program officers here and the tone is more subdued. People are comparing notes about what grants and contracts their universities have lost, or worse yet, what grants they’ve lost. And although we have much to celebrate…we’re
in San Diego afterall, the mood is different. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I realize that not everyone in the COE (or university, for that matter) has a role in our research enterprise, but the work we do in the COE is very much tied to the research and community engagement that is driven, in large part, from
our sponsored research endeavors. Many of you are facing real concerns about funding cuts, and I want you to know that the Dean’s Office is working strategically to identify our highest risk units, grants, and people that we can support through some tough
times ahead. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition, at the request of the provost, the CAS Dean (Chris Poulsen) and I, will be seeking input from unit directors on our highest priorities for institutional bridge funds. We simply don’t have enough resources, but the first task
is to comprehensively survey the landscape to identify priorities that are critical to our work. I thank you in advance for your guidance and input as we navigate choppy waters.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anxieties may be high, but our strength and resilience are higher. Thank you for being a community that cares about each one of us.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Oh, and in other news (in case you missed my last email), the College of Education went up 2 spots in the U.S. News Rankings to #15 overall and #7 public. Special Education remains at #3. Go Team! I appreciate how each one of us in the
COE contributes to our curricular, research, and student experience. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With gratitude,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Friday May 2<sup>nd</sup> 12-1:30pm <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>HEDCO 230T (lunch provided) and Zoom <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are Career (Clinical, Instructional, Research) or TTF and promotion and/or tenure is on the horizon for you in the next 1-3 years, this workshop is for you! The final in a series of three workshops to be offered this year, this workshop
will focus on what to expect when assembling the <b>scholarship </b>portion of your dossier. Participants will be provided with suggestions and strategies for addressing scholarship in their personal statement, accounting for scholarly activities on the CV,
and suggestions for items to include in their dossier. There will be time to address questions unique to Career and TTF. As a bonus, you will be able to learn from your colleagues while you enjoy lunch!
