Happy Monday – I’m attending a recruiters fair in Kansas City, MO today with Dr. Razib Iqbal. I am so excited to help recruit students for our outstanding CNAS programs Sunday afternoon and Monday morning! We will be back late on Monday afternoon.
MSU HOMECOMING EVENTS
I would like to invite you to attend one activity next week as the university celebrates Homecoming 2016. At 4:00 PM on Friday, October 14 the Wall of Fame Ceremony will occur in the PSU Ballroom. Larry Banks will be recognized for his many achievements at this ceremony.
The other events are listed in the calendar below or on the MSU calendar of events.
PIVOT, an application to search for funding opportunities!
Faculty looking for grants should check out Pivot, a very useful tool to search for funding opportunities. Go to http://ora.missouristate.edu/find-funding.htm and set up username and password to access your Pivot account. You can then do keyword searches, save searches, and set up regular e-mail notifications. A profile has already been set up for you based on your CV/Webpage to run searches. Access and modify your profile by selecting on your name in the upper right corner of your Pivot home page. The site is really user friendly and there are tutorials and help links if you need them.
