Good afternoon all, 

My institution has multiple core facilities all owned and managed by different departments/centers and across schools providing light and electron microscopy services to campus. In a recent discussion with stakeholders around the concept of some iteration of a core merger, some concerns were brought up as to the future impact. To answer these concerns, I am hoping to speak to any core directors that are either currently directing a core facility that historically merged as well as those involved with the merger themselves to ask some specific questions about departmental engagement, use of the core as a recruitment tool, and benefits, challenges, or lessons learned as we consider this scenario. 

If you are interested/willing to chat, please let me know--and thank you to those who might receive this who already gave me their time on this topic! 

i'm happy to chat about our consolidation that we did 2 years ago
