The Research Office Has Moved!!

As you may already know, the college research office has moved to its new location, 2526 Hillsborough Street, Suite 102. This was the former Sir Speedy print shop. Contrary to rumors, I will not be the new "Sir Speedy."

Missy, Paula, and I are still getting settled in, and Joyce rejoins us at the end of the month. We don't have phones hooked up yet, but hope to as soon as today (August 7), or early the following week. But we have email, and are readily available.

While the bad news is that we're a bit further from the Dean's office and the main college buildings, the good news is that we're between a sushi restaurant and a frozen yogurt shop, so if either motivates you to visit us (besides the excellent service our staff provides for grant seekers!), feel free to stop by and say hi. We will have, very soon, an intercom and buzzer on the front door, but it will be easy to come in and see our new digs.

Yet more exciting is the Khayrallah Center's impending move into "our" space on the third floor of Withers. Akram Khater and his group are already doing fantastic interdisciplinary work, and now will have a home for Akram and his staff. The move will occur later this month, and I am sure that the college and the Khayrallah Center will announce when they've settled in.

We're looking forward to the beginning of the new academic year, and are eager to see you and to support your research and scholarship.
