Underwater basket weaving.

Somebody's got to come up with innovative ideas on how to catch all that spilt BP oil in the ocean. Residuals would fund the chair for generations.

UofM already offers dual enrollment with SCS, and most likely other area schools.

SCS and all municipal districts make extensive use of Dual enrollment and AP with UM. There are Middle College High schools on both CBU And Lemoyne Owen campuses. I've discussed one with President Rudd.

There is new federal money being released to expand programming. The classes cost the same as a regular college student so funds have to be allocated.

The UM has a highly effective administrator to over see the ongoing program and expansion.

Taking college credit courses while you are still in high school is done all over Iowa, and not just in community colleges where I used to teach, but at the state universities as well.

I don't just mean having high school students come to the university campus. In my area, at least two college level courses are taught each semester on site at area local high schools by college teachers. The local school boards fund the tuition and books. Regular online courses are also available to the high school kids. And they are also welcome to take courses on the college campus during regular semesters and summer school. They are eligible for all these programs after they complete their high school sophomore year.

I once had a student who had somehow gotten enough college credits that she received an AA degree a week before she actually got her high school diploma, then transferred to the university of Iowa as a junior--at age 18.

Christian Brothers University has a duel-enrollment program. In fact, a young man in Memphis has 60 college hours as he is graduating this year. I have seen in the past that the program has many young people enrolled.

I read that article. I think UM should do something like that as well. My point too is not just about the academic superstars like that kid or my example of a student with an AA.

Up here, 50% of high schoolers are in some form of dual enrollment. It's not just for the academic overachievers. Plus, with college tuition costs, the program here is paid by school board tax dollars so the students save a bundle.

A lot of good ideas, such as Chem E, Architecture, etc.

Id create a multidisciplinary research tower/park downtown. North of the Pyramid, convert that tract of land by the harbor. Call it University or Research Harbor, and combine engineering, environmental sciences, bio sciences, tech, and marketing as well as IP implementation.

Id also look into a medical school, maybe around that same area. UT is already expanding to Nashville, diluting their commitment to Memphis. Whether it's public or private, we are a large enough metro to have multiple med/law/engineering schools, particulary as talent attractors for the workforce. Since the question is about U of M, I wont explore my hopes for the other institutions of higher ed in the region.

A third option is to explore what the University Advancing Tech is doing in Phoenix, and consider adapting that to the Delta.

Medicine, Tech, Science, and especially innovation. Get those IP residuals and investments. The greatest service a college can provide students is to avoid being another cog of the proletariat, and instead become a leader in something they are passionate about. Given skyrocketing tuition, we cant settle for churning out worker bees. The best way to produce future leaders is to promote leadership and creativity skills as students.

This isnt a chair, but promote more coding skills, maybe a game production school, and possibly club esports. VR expertise and skills? Adding Twitch and Youtube seminars to podcasting resources so people can learn how to supplement their income with passive earning strategies?

The future is looking less traditional and more decentralized even if the gigs plateau out (which I dont think they will). Help the students create and maybe innovate avenues of passive income in school, and as they pocket those checks after graduation, maybe they donate back.

Dr Garu Bowlin holds the Biomedical Engineering Chair of Excellance. Specialty research in;
Tissue Engineering, Electrospun Template design,
Biocompatibility & Innate immune system regulation,
Angiogenesis,
Customized Polymers, Surgical Meshes, Manuka Honey-based Wound Healing.

Several joint research projects with UTCHS.

Dr. Eugene Eckerstein is the Department chair.
Dr Warren Haggard also holds a Chair of Excellence in BME.

Which kind of chair are we talking about?

Outside of dispersants, and Ocean Therapy Technology, 32 of which were purchased, are warehoused in New Orleans but were never used?

But I'm on board with any research into improving on existing tech. Beat Kevin Costner at his own game...04-cheers

Medical school wont work with UT already here.

However expand the math, physics, chemistry, engineering fields to create more research facilities.

We need to add chemical, nuclear, and other engineering fields.

Wow - did not know these were in place. Shows I need to be better informed about what is happening at my school. Thanks for educating me

Nice.

I would go even further than that. Have college courses taught on the high school campuses. That's done up here (Iowa) at most high schools. Rather than travel to a center somewhere, or enroll in a special program, the courses are right there, during 3rd period or whatever.

One unexpected consequence--almost all the college courses are gen ed courses--basic freshman level college composition, math/calculus, social sciences, etc.--the courses all college students are required to take. So, it has pretty well killed off many AP courses. Why take AP English when you can directly take the college English course itself in the classroom down the hall?

Isn't an architecture degree one of the least degrees in demand right now. Perhaps a MS might help but architects are almost a dime a dozen. I know these trends change over time but...

I know I'm wishing for the moon but I sure wish we had a med school. Heck I'd even take a vet school.
