Extensive research Research projects were extensive as 112 contracts were granted in varying amounts to recipients in every college within the university. The College of Engineering received one of the largest grants in the amount of $570,000 to be used for a "Themis: Information Processing Systems" project. Another grant in excess of $1,000,000 was awarded to the International Affairs department for university development in Ecuador. The School admitted 3,000 students this year, marking its largest enrollment thus far. According to Dean Daniels, "The development of the School has been very great and will become more recognized as time goes on." 407 |
