CALL FOR PAPERS:

One idea raised in the recently concluded CEM brainstorming session is the launch of a web-based CEM Working Paper Series. The primary objective of the series is to provide a venue for soliciting comments and suggestions for our on-going and recently concluded research. In addition, it is envisioned as a means to promote our research capabilities to people in and outside of the college.  

To jumpstart the activity, our plan is to release forthcoming chapters from the Centennial Book writing projects of the three departments of CEM. However, we would also like to solicit recent research output which you deem worthy of releasing to the general public. 

  If you wish to participate in this activity, kindly send an MS Word version of your paper to Prime Rodriguez at uprime@gmail.com.
