Vivian Aguilar is ready to graduate in May with a degree in psychology and had plans to work toward an advanced degree to prepare for a career in the medical field, focusing on behavioral changes to prevent and treat disease and addiction.

Policy and Procedures for the Operation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs)/Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)/Drones

All faculty, staff, administrators, students, or outside vendors who wish to operate a UAS/UAV/Drone on campus or in the course of research, teaching or other University-related endeavors must work with the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) and the UAS Review Committee to ensure appropriate legal use.

Protocol approval from the IACUC must be obtained prior to beginning any teaching, research, or experimentation involving animals.
