Centers of Excellence Planning

PSU has launched a brainstorming process to engage faculty in helping identify topics for several "Centers of Excellence." The first step in that process is an online discussion, facilitated through the Centers Brainstorming website. The site provides more details about the process, as well as several Google Docs for faculty to start sharing ideas. These online discussions will lead to in-person meetings (including at the Winter Symposium in January), and then short proposals due at the beginning of February.
New PSU Research Twitter

We have launched a new Twitter handle dedicated to promoting PSU Research (@psu_research). If you use Twitter, follow us! We’ll retweet your research tweets. If you are not on Twitter, we can post on your behalf.
