Merrimack’s commitment to innovation has never been stronger — and our efforts to become a nationally ranked research institution will spark far-reaching transformation across our community and beyond.
To fuel these ambitious goals, we must build infrastructure that supports groundbreaking research. With your help, we will recruit leading faculty members with expansive research portfolios and equip them with the resources they need to make visionary breakthroughs. These esteemed faculty members will foster a rigorous and enriching research and graduate culture and inspire the next generation of researchers.
Together, we will pioneer innovative approaches to higher education that are both affordable and accessible. We will push the boundaries of traditional models to create offerings that meet the needs of modern students and industries. We will invest in the facilities, talent, technology, and equipment necessary to promote transformative research, collaboration, and opportunity.
“Our sponsors recognize the importance of community based research and its role in answering real-world, large scale questions.”
