Please join us on Tuesday, April 3 for the Spring Faculty Scholarship, Research, and Creative Inquiry Fair. 

This is a chance for people across department and school lines to learn more about the exciting pursuits of their colleagues and to engage with one another as members of a common learning community.

The Research Fair will take place from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM in the Clark Lounge with the first half-hour being a time for greeting and gathering.  We will enjoy wine, appetizers, outstanding presentations, and excellent conversation.

At 4:30 PM the presentations will begin and will feature 5 minute lightning round talks and poster presentations of faculty research, scholarship and creative practices.
