UNIQUE POSITIONING OF THECOLLEGE OF EDUCATION

CHANCELLOR PERSPECTIVEAs you know … I am a strong believer in metrics. We need those goals and benchmarks along the way that measure our effectiveness and inform our actions. In this case, we have set ambitious goals of doubling the number of startups by 2012, and increasing sponsored research by 50 percent by 2015.

It is my hope that all organizations across campus will embrace innovation as a core value, work together to participate in the innovation network, eliminate barriers that limit the creative spirit, streamline innovation processes, and promote innovative activities and resources that will advance NC State’s scholarship and research impact and reputation.
