* The Office of Academic Affairs and the Office of Research and Technology Transfer recently announced a call for proposals for an interdisciplinary faculty cluster hire. The intent of the program is to strategically hire several new faculty members to complement existing strengths and create a nationally recognized program in a particular interdisciplinary field. The proposed collaborations should span at least two colleges, with three or more being preferred. Proposals are due June 30, 2017. The RFP is available at http://www.wichita.edu/research/clusterhire. For more information, contact Dennis Livesay at dennis.livesay@wichita.edu or 978-3095.
