Faculty and TAs who borrowed document cameras, pen-enabled displays and tablets for remote/hybrid teaching but who aren’t teaching this summer should return those items as soon as possible so they may be loaned out to other instructors.
Instructors who need tech equipment can now pick up those items for summer teaching. Visit the Tech Readiness webpage for more information on what’s available.
All equipment returns and checkouts are happening at the front desk of the CEAS Dean’s Office (ECAD 100) between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Please bring your Buff OneCard.
The Resilient Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity Interdisciplinary Research Theme is offering a condensed fellowship/seed grant cycle of $10,000 that is open to faculty affiliates, post-docs or graduate students. The effort will fund pilot projects and research activities that relate to the three themes of the IRT. The intention is for the funds to be spent from June 15 through Aug. 15. The RISE IRT was formed in July 2020 and explores holistic actions to address the many drivers of urban disaster risk worldwide, while simultaneously addressing environmental sustainability and social equity challenges.
