NU faculty, staff, alumni, and students:
Are you interested in collaborating with other scholars on academic publications and conference presentations?
Please join us for the next ARC Scholarly Mixer!
Zoom link will be provided soon.
At the mixer, you will learn about opportunities and network in small breakout rooms to chat with potential scholarly partners or groups about your research interests. ARC can then help you to realize these scholarly dreams. Even if you’re just casually browsing, please do attend! It’s a fun and casual scholarly experience.
Please email Dr. Maggie Broderick with questions or input: mbroderick@nu.edu
