Battista Named Interim Assistant Director of the Office of Student Research

Dr. Rebecca Battista (Health and Exercise Science) has been named Interim Assistant Director of the Office of Student Research effective August 19, 2014. After an internal search was conducted, the Search Committee recommended Dr. Battista for the Interim Assistant Director position given her extensive experience both at ASU and the University of Wisconsin-Lacrosse in mentoring undergraduate and graduate student in the research process. In 2009, while as a Faculty member at University of Wisconsin-Lacrosse, Dr. Battista served on the Steering Committee for the prestigious National Conference on Undergraduate Research meeting. This year ASU had a total of 47 undergraduate students present their research at the 28th Annual National Conference on Undergraduate Research at the University of Kentucky, April 3-5. "We look forward to having Dr. Battista join our staff in the Office of Student Research as we continue to provide research and creative endeavors opportunities to both our undergraduate and graduate students here at ASU that seek out these scholarly endeavors" states Dr. Alan Utter, Director of the Office of Student Research and Interim Vice Provost for Research.
