IDR Honor Society calls for communication network participants

As part of the launch of the Interdisciplinary Research (IDR) Honor Society, we intend to create a forum for open discussion of interdisciplinary issues. In conjunction with this forum, we would like to establish a list of contacts on our website which will serve as nodes of communication to facilitate interdisciplinary communication between the different departments within the university. Students and Faculty interested in serving as such “nodes” for their respective departments will be a source of contact for others by either responding to questions directly or providing further direction to other resources. Please respond to Risa Pesapane (rpesapan@vt.edu) with your contact information such as email, office location, area of expertise/department, and work phone (optional) if you are interested in being listed as part of the communication network. All disciplines are encouraged to apply!

Edit: (03/05/2011 TE)

Network participants are now listed under Communication Network. We will continue to add contacts to it on an ongoing basis. We hope to add categories and a search function to it in the future.
