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 on January 25th), and then short proposals due at the beginning of February. We also encourage faculty to complete this survey by Friday, January 19th at 3pm. We are also encouraging faculty to complete this survey. The purpose of this survey is twofold. First, we have space at the Symposium for a maximum of 28 tables. We will be using this survey to gauge the level of interest for discussing the topics at the Symposium to assign the tables. Some topics will not have tables assigned at the Symposium due to lack of interest or that the people interested are not able to attend the Symposium. Note that not having a table at the Symposium does not mean that you cannot submit a first stage proposal. Second, it is another opportunity to engage more faculty in these discussions. We’re all very busy, and some of you may have missed the discussions happening on the Centers Brainstorming website. If you cannot attend the Symposium, but want to be involved in one or more of the center idea discussions, complete the survey, add your name to the Google doc now and contact the other people listed to get involved.

PSU Faculty Experts Directory

PSU faculty expertise is highly valued by reporters and editors. Oftentimes, they will call PSU's Media & Public Relations Team seeking faculty experts on a variety of topics including - but not limited to - science, social science, politics, the environment, social justice, social work, public health, or whatever else relates to the story they're producing. These media interviews are very short, quick, and easy - and should be a minimal burden on your time. The benefits for you include raising the visibility of yourself as a thought leader, promoting your research, educating the public, and promoting your discipline, college and PSU. 
To further promote your expertise, the Media & PR Team is updating and changing the old PSU Faculty Experts page to increase visibility for journalists. We highly encourage you to help us by providing the following:  
All faculty members who wish be included in the new PSU Faculty experts page need to fill out the new PSU Faculty Expert Submission Form. Some of you may have an entry on the old Faculty Experts page, however, we are building a brand new page and the information cannot be transferred. Apologies for redundancy, but it's necessary you fill out the new submission form for inclusion.
