 VP Note: OVPRGS changes

It’s a new year and the OVPRGS has a few new faces and a new distribution of some duties:

• Terry May is now Faculty Conflict of Interest Information Officer (see article)
• Anthony Wojcik retired to a 15 percent appointment as a consultant to the VPRGS
• Estelle McGroarty became assistant vice president for research and graduate studies, taking on some of the responsibilities Wojcik handled along with some new tasks (see article)
• Cordell Overby took a leave of absence from MSU for a position at the University of Delaware (see article)
• JR Haywood was named interim assistant vice president for regulatory affairs
• Paul Hunt added responsibility for the Office of Export Controls, working with its director, Ron Russell
• Loraine Hudson is director of a new Office of Research Facilitation
• Two former Pfizer scientists are part of OVPRGS

In other changes, the OVPRGS is partnering with the Graduate School to establish an office to support post-doctoral trainees (see article). Tony Nunez, associate dean in the Graduate School, will be its director.

Our goal is always to facilitate research. We hope these efforts will help faculty be even more successful.

Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies
