Discovery Days: Discovering Your Constellation of Collaborators

Wednesday OCTOBER 4, 2023 | 12:00 - 1:30 PM | The Globe Auditorium (map)

Join us for our workshop series throughout Discovery Days! This is part 2 of a 3-part series on Innovation through Collaboration, offered by FSU Research Development. 

Collaborating with community organizations means more than a brief stint of community service or civic engagement. It's more than quick polls or one-time interactions for grants. Strong collaborations in the community take grit and creativity, commitment and risk. Collaborating with the community means leveraging your amazing discoveries in research to improve community services locally and abroad.

At this engaging and interactive event, Discovering Your Constellation of Collaborators, Dr. Nicole Patton Terry will share her experiences growing connections with a myriad of collaborators across community organizations. Come ready to be inspired and develop tools you can take with you to build better constellations of collaborators that have longstanding impact in the community and the world.

Lunch will be provided to those who pre-registered for the event. Registration has closed but walk-ins are welcome to attend for the presentation.

Intended Audience: faculty, researchers, community leaders, community organizations, and graduate students interested in forming long-lasting networks of collaborations.

Parking: Student, Staff, and Faculty parking is available at the Traditions Way Garage. A limited number of parking passes are available for external participants. Please contact Evangeline Ciupek for assistance.
