Dear Faculty and Staff Colleagues,

Last year we created the Provost’s Progress to Promotion (P3) program and the Novel Projects for Professors (NPP) program. These two new research initiatives are designed to assist Assistant, Associate, and Full Professors who take on projects which advance campus imperatives that are not otherwise supported. The P3 program assists Assistant and Associate Professors on their path to promotion while also advancing one or more of our campus imperatives. The NPP Program assists Full Professors as they take on a new project that supports projects that are new and novel to that faculty member that advanced one or more campus imperatives. For both programs, projects focused on any of the RTP areas: Teaching Effectiveness, Scholarly and Creative Activities, Service to Campus, and Service to Community.

We are excited to announce that faculty who participated in the P3 and NPP programs are ready to share their research with their colleagues.

Please join me in celebrating their work:

I am looking forward to engaging with the results of this work and learning more about how the P3 and NPP programs helped faculty advance campus imperatives.

Carlos Nevarez

Interim Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
