As stated in the original announcement: A key outcome of the campus strategic planning effort is the identification of four broad themes that provide opportunities for interdisciplinary research and education to complement the outstanding individual efforts which will continue to be campus priorities. The themes provide opportunities to leverage the remarkable research on our campus to address several of society's most pressing challenges. We are hosting workshops to enable broad participation in the development of these areas and identify new collaborative opportunities.
We look forward to seeing you at today's Workshop,
