UMass Dartmouth recently recognized 14 faculty members for their sponsored research accomplishments during this academic year. Remarks were offered by UMass Dartmouth Chancellor Divina Grossman and Vice Chancellor for Research and Economic Development Louis Goodman.
UMass Dartmouth's new strategic plan calls for the university to achieve national recognition as a research university by 2020. In September 2014, UMass Dartmouth launched UMassDTransform2020, the University's new strategic plan that will position the University for transformation, growth, and prosperity. UMassDTransform2020 charts the course of UMass Dartmouth's future through four key strategic actions: a focus on the transformative educational experience of students as our highest priority, embracing change that fosters innovative and enriched learning, dynamic and impactful research; and the University continue to enhance reciprocal and enduring partnerships with our community, engaging a diverse community of highly qualified and committed faculty, students, and staff to elicit the best results from the University's resources and infrastructure, and fomenting growth in the areas of environment, health, justices, and arts and culture.
