Professional Activities

Audrey Arsenault, Sponsored Projects and Research, recently sat for her exam to become a Certified Research Administrator (CRA). This is a national exam overseen by the Research Administrators Certification Council (RACC), and represents the gold standard for the profession of research administration. It requires one to demonstrate their understanding of the Body of Knowledge for research administrators, which covers a host of research compliance, legal, and fiscal matters.

Irene M.H. Herold, Dean of the Library, has been invited to serve on the Editorial Board of the Library Issues: Briefings for Faculty and Administrators. The publication highlights key issues in academic librarianship. Its intended audience is faculty and academic administrators and librarians who work with them. LI’s short articles present the various facets of controversial topics, not campus-specific solutions. LI strives to clarify not persuade, to present facts not opinions, to facilitate communication not advocate positions.
