As a follow-up to the January 2023 Arts + Health Working Group Town Hall and kickoff event, the A+H Working Group is hosting an in-person strategy planning retreat. The primary goal of this retreat is to identify and engage working group membership, organizational structure, and funding opportunity/research pursuit goals. This event is open to all research faculty, staff, post-docs, and students interested in growing the research portfolio in the intersection of Arts and Health. 

This is a cross-campus initiative, engaging researchers from all areas of campus. Faculty from any discipline, subject area, department, or college with relationship to arts or health research are welcome to attend.

This retreat will function as a working meeting to produce deliverable research pursuits/plans for the Arts + Health Working Group. Researchers currently operating in this research space, looking for collaborators in this space, and/or planning a response to upcoming high-impact research opportunities related to food research are strongly encouraged to attend.

The retreat will take place on April 15th, 2024 from 1pm - 5pm (MST). Location will be provided to those who register. We recognize engaged individuals may have other events/commitments during this time. We would welcome your attendance for any portion of the meeting that you can make.

Please RSVP for this in-person retreat by Monday, April 1st, 2024. RSVP is required to ensure a room with adequate seating can be arranged and to better guide the discussion to achievable outcomes.
