Every Tuesday in OnCampus the Deputy Provost shares two articles with a read time of 10 minutes.

In collaboration with Drake’s Office of Sponsored Projects and Research, the Deputy Provost’s office is hosting a conversation on Funding Your Research and Creative Activity Friday, Nov. 19, from 1–3 p.m. in Howard Hall, Room 210. Please register here. We will use our time together to discuss both intramural and extramural grantspersonship—specifically thinking through how to grow external grant capacity from internal awards, how to position your work as related to institutional and professional priorities, and how to collaborate across the University.

Professor Dian Nostakasari (ENSS) is a terrific example of a scholar doing excellent work at the intersections of several disciplinary areas.  She will be presenting in Howard Hall, Room 210, on her project, “Inhabiting Digital Spaces as a Right to the City” on Friday, Nov. 5, from 11:30–12:15. Registration has closed to facilitate ordering lunch for participants—but feel free to email renee.cramer@drake.edu if you plan to show up, but haven’t yet registered—we can add to our order and have food for all who attend.
