Additionly, after 20 years of service in the field of research administration (almost 10 years have been at OSU), Lin Reilly will be retiring June 30, 2016. Lin also spent 20 years in the private sector prior to moving into the field of research administration. According to Lin, “I’m honored and grateful to have worked with a great bunch of people here in the Research Office and the campus, and to have been an integral part of the merger of Sponsored Programs and the Post Award office, transforming into the Office for Sponsored Research & Award Administration. I trust that the office will continue to offer excellent customer service to the campus as its processes evolve. Stay tuned for more details on an event to honor Lin’s service.
Lastly, we welcome Vern Wrobleski to the ORI team as the ERA Project Manager. Vern joins us from Hewlett-Packard where he worked for the last 17 years as a manager on various projects in Roseville, Houston and Corvallis. He is located in A312 in the office next to Stephen…drop by and say hi!
