All, In a continuing effort to recognize and reward the hard work of our faculty to grow VSE’s research enterprise, the Dean has approved the creation of chartered labs to complement chartered centers. The attached draft memorandum describes our current proposal for chartered labs. Please review and send your comments to Kim and me by Friday, March 29. We would like to finalize and issue the memorandum by April 30, 2019, for implementation this coming fiscal year. Regards.
