Looking Forward

Destination Areas Led by Provost Thanassis Rikakis, the university is promoting five “destination areas” for focused research investment and cross-cutting fields of study:

• Adaptive Brain and Behavior • Data Analytics and Decision Sciences • Resilient Earth Systems (Infectious

Disease) • Integrated Security • Intelligent Infrastructure for Human

Centered Communities • Health Science & Technology – focus on

Roanoke The College of Engineering will be a major contributor in all five destination areas.
