Sandra Watson, ESM budget assistant, and Kelly Owens, ESM accounting assistant, have completed the Pre-Award Certificate semester of the Administrative Committee on Research (ACOR) Certification and Education Series (ACES) program. The ACES is a two-year; four-semester certification program. The 80 classroom hours learning experience is a combination of workshops, online education, mentoring, and competency assessment -- all leading to certification.

Congratulations to both.
