Programs
The Research Administration Mentoring Program and University Partnership (RAMP UP) has a foundational commitment to supporting the success and professional development of all Research Administrators. This pilot program is currently seeking experienced Research Administrators to serve as mentors and newer Research Administrators who want to expand their knowledge as mentees.
Research Administration Office Hours are held biweekly on Wednesday mornings at 9am. This is designed as a drop in session to ask other RA's questions or to get advice. Click here to Register.
