White Paper Finalists
- The following 18 White Papers were selected to be White Paper Finalist.
- Faculty in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences were:
- Submitters in 14 of the 18 White Paper Finalists.
- Co-PIs in 16 of the 18 White Paper Finalists.
Expanded white papers will be developed and posted on the Academic Master Plan website on March 31.
The process will culminate in a week-long poster session followed by University-wide retreat on April 7, when the entire community will have the opportunity to listen to and comment upon the proposed landmark areas.
The Academic Master Plan steering committee will ultimately determine the final landmark areas selected.
