Here are three of our programs you should know about:

Faculty Expert Database
This is a list of faculty areas of expertise submitted by faculty and edited by our office. The Faculty Expert Database is used primarily by reporters and editors working on stories and looking for experts. The Office of Sponsored Programs also uses it to contact faculty about grant and contract opportunities. Prospective students and faculty use the site to get a sense of the university.

University Speakers Bureau
The speakers bureau helps local and regional organizations find speakers among our faculty and staff. The community relations benefits to this service are considerable.

In the News
Our office periodically reports on faculty scholarly activities as reported in the media. In the News is a regular department in Inside Chico State and Chico Statements.
