A message from the executive director

A new year implies a fresh start, clean slate, a time to let your past habits go and begin again. This couldn’t be truer than of ARC.

Our successful launch has led us into the New Year on a positive note. I look forward to 2006… because this year marks the opportunity for us to show the world what makes the Applied Research Center so extraordinary. Our innovations, our explorations and our ideas will bring FIU to the forefront in Applied Research. And we will do it this year.

2006 will be the year of the ARC!

Pending approval, FIU’s Applied Research Center team will be creating and launching a brand new website for the Mentor Protégé program. Due for completion by February, the goal of this site will be to facilitate cross communication between mentors and protégés along the FIU system.

The capabilities of this website include; online training courses, mentor and protégé communication, location of said individuals and information on who is involved. It may also be expandable to the Air Force, Navy, the Department of Defense and so forth and will also aid in communications with other Universities and Minority Institutions.

Gloria Angulo will be coordinating the effort, Walter Quintero will be using the current ARC website as a template for his designs, and Guillermo Murillo is responsible for the structure and content development.
