Gateway Meetings

"Gateways" are informal meetings with with Kevin Hamilton, Associate VCRI – Humanities, Arts, and Related Fields and Maria Gillombardo, RAPD Senior Research Development Manager.

It is our privilege to be in conversation with you about your work. We look forward to discussing your project and plans - and can strategize with you about next steps, even if you aren’t yet sure what those are. You might be at the conceptual stage or farther along, or perhaps considering taking work in a new direction.

As interlocutors, we ask generative, open-ended questions. We can connect you with colleagues whose interests align with yours. And if you are considering ways to move the project forward through funding (either campus-level or extramural), we can identify potential resources and opportunities.

We are here as interlocutors to support your work, whenever the timing is right for you. We always want to partner with faculty in ways that are productive, and we hope that you will consider the "gateway" meeting the first of many conversations in support of your research and creative activities.
