Cynthia Kane
Assistant Vice Provost for Research and Sponsored Programs
How would you describe your job to a layperson?
Together with my team, I endeavor to help the campus community build an understanding of externally funded research administration, the responsibilities of managing sponsored activities, and to provide continual education in the ever changing regulatory environment. We strive for efficiency to minimize the administrative burden to faculty and staff to help them focus on their research.
What is something that people may not know about you? I was born and raised in a small town in the San Joaquin Valley of California, the youngest of five and the first in my family to graduate from college with a Bachelor's Degree.
Do you have a pet? Tell us about them. I have an Olde English Bulldogge named Titus. He is 3 years old and is loving, devoted, funny and very friendly. At 70 lbs, his happy approach to greeting you might make you hesitate, but he is just a big love who wants to say "Hi".
