New ORA Staff

Gayle Mowbray Walters has rejoined our office as an Associate Director, taking over Stewart Craig's former assignments. Gayle worked in research administration in the JHU Controller's office and the JHSPH as well as in our own ORA. She then spent about six years at the University of Maryland in Sponsored Projects and in Oncology. Thus, she's able to "hit the ground running" and assume her responsibilities immediately.

We also have two new Senior Sponsored Projects Specialists. Lealie Perry, who has been working with us during the past month, came to us from JHPIEGO and before that gained experience in the legal departments and contracting areas of several companies in the private sector. Isela Robison will join us on or about September 1. Isela's sponsored projects work took place in El Paso, Texas, and more recently in York,
Pennsylvania. Departmental assignments for Lealie and Isela will be publicized shortly.
