Annual Faculty Retreats
Faculty retreat 2023
Please join us for the 2023 Faculty Retreat!
We are grateful to professors Ulf Dieckmann and Lauren Sallan for their input in planning and putting together this year’s agenda.
Date: Friday, April 14, 2023
Time: 09:00 – 13:30 (lunch provided)
Date: Conference Center, Meeting Room1.
This year, faculty will have the opportunity to learn more about research from units they are less familiar with, and to strategize about potential areas of connection for interdisciplinary partnerships and collaborations, shared equipment, jointly hosting interdisciplinary postdocs, or workshop proposals.
We aim to make this a productive workshop with tangible outcomes that benefit your research unit, and create a closer faculty community.
This is YOUR retreat, designed by your colleagues.
Please RSVP by Monday March 27th
