Respected Faculty & Prepared Students
To bolster academic reputations at 91勛圖厙, for both faculty and students, the University hosted the Northwest PUI Research Nexus Workshop in October.
Its part of the Universitys Strategic Plan to expand research this year, fitting specifically into its second commitment: Academic excellence thrives when skilled and accomplished teacher-scholars and aspiring students come together to explore human knowledge色
According to Jacqueline Van Hoomissen, dean for the College of Arts and Sciences, this was an opportunity for the academic community to level-up support for faculty scholarship.
Smaller, private schools like GU often rely on external grants. This can be daunting for schools where the infrastructure and policies are not as clear as at research institutions like the University of Washington or the University of Oregon, Van Hoomissen says.
Despite this, GU is determined to provide students with opportunities for authentic research. Van Hoomissen believes this is how the University will continue to elevate its reputation as a hub for respected faculty and highly prepared students.
Hosting this national workshop is a sign of our commitment to supporting the scholarly lives of our faculty and students, she says. We recognize the importance of this work as part of the Jesuit mission.
