"I was drawn to UM because of the potential that exists here to build productive research programs. Much of this potential is directly attributable to the commitment and vision of our administrative leadership."

External funding for research at UM barely reached $7 million annually in 1990. With greater emphasis placed on attracting top professionals to lead cutting-edge research, UM has seen a steady increase in grants each year since.

In 1999-2000, faculty research funding from outside sources topped $38 million, creating more jobs and better opportunities for undergraduate students to do research.

Working side by side, faculty mentors and students have gained worldwide acclaim for discoveries made at UM.
