RESILIENCE REIMAGINED SPEAKER SERIES
RESEARCH COUNCIL
The College of Arts & Sciences Research Council was created in 2023 to enhance research through faculty mentorship and support. The Research Council, chaired by Dr. Christina Frederick, senior faculty research mentor, comprises tenured faculty from each department within the college. This year, the council engaged in a variety of activities including the administration of the college’s Start-Up Funding Program. This program funded two innovative projects, including a multidisciplinary effort to understand generative AI in higher education. The Research Council also engaged in outreach activities to other campuses, including participation in proposal reviews for the Vice President of Research Office and Discovery Day through the Office of Undergraduate Research. Finally, the Research Council presented a faculty seminar featuring a panel discussion of journal editors. The editors reflected on the peer-review process and shared insights on how they view submissions. The Research Council will maintain its efforts next year with the Start-Up Funding Program to support research and scholarship efforts.
The United Nations’ Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction defines resilience as “the ability of a system, community or society exposed to hazards to resist, absorb, accommodate to and recover from the effects of a hazard in a timely and efficient manner, including through the preservation and restoration of its
essential basic structures and functions.” Our ongoing virtual speaker series, Resilience
Reimagined, hosts esteemed guests once a month to discuss fresh perspectives on a broad range of resilience topics. This series supports our strategic vision to be a true destination college for multidisciplinary studies and impactful collaborative research as we strive to transform our students and the broader community into responsive, responsible global citizens.
