Information from Dean Angle

Wimba Session - Another Wimba budget session was held on Friday, 4/6/12. This session addressed the budget and several other topics. If you would like to listen to the archive of this Wimba session with Dean Angle, please go to the following website.

The Budget – I will schedule a Wimba Budget Meeting soon to discuss the outcome of our budget request.  Overall, this is shaping up to be a good year after three years of continual decline in funding.

CAGT – I am pleased to appoint Dr. Scott Jackson as the director of the Center for Applied Genetic Technologies.  This appointment is effective May 1, 2012.  Please help me welcome Scott into this new role.
