Return of Faculty Positions following retirements

Long-term objectives for High Pressure Mineral Physics

Physical Space for Major New Projects: e.g., Lunar Science Institute, HSFL

What should the Teaching Role be for HIGP? Trend towards more post-docs rather than grad students

What is the Future for Soft-Monied Faculty?

Director of HIGP – How do we train in-house a possible 5th Institute Director?
