I

applaud the members of our faculty and staff who devoted time and energy to the task of grant-writing this year. this grants Yearbook is a tribute to their efforts and a reminder of how important the grant-writing process can be to our University, our employees and, most of all, our students. at the heart of grantsmanship is a desire to advance the University’s academic mission. grant-funded projects provide academic support and enrichment for our cal U students, create opportunities for community service, help us to obtain specialized equipment and software, and support highimpact practices such as undergraduate research. participating faculty and staff members also benefit from the research, outreach and professional development opportunities supported by external funding. in addition, a number of grant-funded projects reach beyond the campus gates to serve the broader community. i am pleased to note that our latest group of grant-writers includes employees from all three undergraduate colleges at the University, as well as the offices of academic affairs, Student affairs and University relations. the projects that were awarded funds in 2014-2015 reflect this diversity. among them are efforts to address important social issues, improve our environment, meet 21st-century workforce and technology needs, prepare area teens for higher education, and help incoming students adapt to the college environment. i sincerely thank each of the grant-writers whose work is acknowledged in this yearbook, as well as those in the Office of Sponsored programs and research. it is my hope that the positive, hard-working spirit reflected in this yearbook will continue to flourish on our campus.

With deep appreciation,

geraldine m. Jones interim University president
