NEW BEGINNINGS “While we are looking forward to the post-COVID environment, I have to keep reminding myself that we are still in the thick of it. My chief goal right now for CGII is to help colleagues get research started back up after the hiatus. We will move quickly to expedite funds for travel requests as soon as restrictions are relaxed. In addition to Center Grants offered every semester, CGII offered a Global Program of Distinction (G-POD) grant which is offered only in the fall. For the next academic year, I aim to increase the pool of funds available for grants and develop new foci of collaborative, interdisciplinary research.” BRIAN OWENSBY, DIRECTOR, CENTER FOR GLOBAL INQUIRY AND INNOVATION
