<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#0F4761">Over the last year the ALVSCE pre-award team has undergone some significant changes. We have lost a number of long-standing team members, and I am grateful to the
rest of the team for their remarkable efforts to ensure that this did not impact on the level of service provided to the Division. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

next Monday on May 20. Both Zach and Alicia bring a wealth of experience in Pre-award support - Zach from the College of Education and Sponsored Projects & Alicia from the College of Science Computer Science Department – and we are excited to welcome them
to the team.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

in order to provide more balance across the team.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
