The inaugural Open Access Research Symposium has been planned in coordination with the Provost's Office, the SRSU Library and Archives, and the Open Access Vision Team. This initiative is made possible in part by Dr. Jennifer Miller-Ray’s participation in the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board’s (THECB) OER Fellowship Program, whose vision is “to support mentor relationships for OER use, creation, and capacity building at institutions and statewide.”
