NEW EQUIPMENT REQUESTS: Once a term the Dean's Office will send an inquiry to all academic departments about their new equipment needs (sans equipment that is already built in to the new engineering building). These requests do not have a capped dollar amount. The request for fall 2023 was sent on 7/27/2023 via email to department chairs (who were to share it with all full time faculty). A reminder was sent on 8/11/2023. It was also in the August dean's notes that was sent to all employees. The deadline for requests was 9/15/2023.
