Research Services Spotlight Series

Join us to learn about and engage with an array of campus research service providers this summer. While you are thinking about writing articles and grant proposals or thinking up new programs, it's also a good time to refresh our memories about campus services that may enhance those research and scholarly activities.

Each service unit will provide a five- to ten-minute recorded video highlighting their services. The recordings will be provided on this webpage approximately one week ahead of a 30-minute Q&A session via Zoom.
