A note from John Verboncoeur.

DER Director Kelli Martin will be stepping down to take the position as Chief Financial Officer of Traverse City. We greatly appreciate Kelli’s service as DER Director, during which she led the move to the new KC system, led many process efficiency improvements, and fostered a responsive customer service culture. Kelli led the College of Engineering in being the first college at MSU to transition to a fully electronic proposal management system, including pioneering many changes to the software to facilitate Engineering’s diverse portfolio of research administration needs, which are now being adopted by other colleges.  Please join us in congratulating Kelli on her accomplishments at MSU, and in wishing her success in her new opportunity.
