This has been another outstanding year for the CRU Program, and I am pleased to provide you with our 2022 Year in Review report. Highlights of this past year include the creation of our 42nd unit at Michigan State University and the completion of hiring activities for 37 new unit scientists in 31 States. In this report, you will learn more about the spectacular accomplishments of our students, research staff, and scientists over the past year. We are pleased to report that we continue to see increases in the number of students enrolled in the program, number of active projects, and number of publications and trainings offered to our partners and collaborators. Our dedicated Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee continues its valuable work to ensure that all members of our CRU family feel welcomed and included. We continue to grow our partnerships with key external collaborators such as WMI, The Wildlife Society, and USFWS. Our university and State cooperators remain steadfast in their commitment of involvement and have embraced the growth of the program, as we fill some long-standing vacancies and add additional units.
