Join DOR Leadership on Teams!
The Division of Research has launched a Teams site to virtually connect with faculty who are interested in research and innovation.
The UH Research & Innovation Teams site will have topic-specific channels where faculty may leave a question for one of our directors. We will host weekly VPR Virtual Office Hours during the duration of the COVID-19 emergency. These 30-minute Q&A sessions will be scheduled in Zoom via our Teams site. The first session will be scheduled for this Friday, April 3 at noon, so be sure to check out the VPR Virtual Office Hours channel on Teams for the current Zoom invitation.
We also intend to schedule some of our sessions that used to be held in the Faculty Cafe through this Teams site on Zoom. Stay tuned!
The DOR hopes that this new virtual discussion forum will allow the faculty and DOR leadership to more frequently and persistently share thoughts, accomplishments and challenges.
