Taryn Lopez, ΠΤΣϋΙη Geophysical Institute research associate professorFriday Focus: Thinking big – our path to R1

In 2018, I was invited by Chancellor White to lead ΠΤΣϋΙη’s strategic planning goal to β€œAchieve R1 research status.” At the time I was relatively new faculty and knew little about the Carnegie Classification’s Very High Research status university ranking (R1). I was also used to working within my own discipline and focused on my own research. Achieving R1 status was a big idea that, like many other faculty on campus, I had difficulty wrapping my brain around! Together, with a team of faculty, staff, and students from across ΠΤΣϋΙη, we learned what it means to be an R1 university, how R1 would benefit ΠΤΣϋΙη, and how ΠΤΣϋΙη could achieve that goal.Μύ
