University of Nebraska faculty and administrators who want to learn about and network with potential outreach and broader impacts partners should attend an April 17 meet-and-greet event. Register now, as event seating is limited.

The Broader Impacts Partners Meet and Greet is 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Nebraska East Union’s Arbor Suite, 1705 Arbor Drive.

The event will begin with a lightning talk session where representatives from local broader impacts and outreach groups will give brief talks about their programming and how they might partner with university faculty. In addition, recent recipients of National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Program grants, known as CAREER awards, will give lightning talks about the broader impacts portions of their projects to provide examples of these partnerships in action. The lightning talk session will be followed by a networking lunch, at which presenters and attendees can engage informally and discuss potential partnerships.

This event is free and open to faculty from all NU campuses, and a complimentary lunch will be provided. Space is available on a first-come, first-seated basis.
