Join the Expanding Horizons Symposium - a showcase where this year’s faculty cohort will share their most ambitious, convergent research “Big Ideas” in a fast-paced lightning talk format. Each participant will offer a concise, high-impact overview of a research vision designed to move beyond strong individual scholarship toward larger, interdisciplinary, higher-impact work. Hear bold new directions take shape, and stay to connect with colleagues and campus research leaders as ideas spark conversation, collaboration, and next-step opportunities. Whether you’re seeking inspiration, potential partners, or a window into emerging trends, this symposium is designed to ignite cross-campus dialogue and foster innovative thinking. Don’t miss this chance to explore transformative ideas, build new connections, and be part of a vibrant academic community driving discovery forward. All are welcome to attend!
