I’ve lived in the Mid-Atlantic region for over 20 years now, but the Michigan girl in me always feels a bit of awe when Virginia goes from “stick season” to glorious spring in what seems like an instant. Of course, those daffodils and flowering trees also signal the last quarter of the academic year. While there are still miles to go before any of us sleep, I am excited about what the end of the semester has in store here at the Faculty Hub, and I thought I’d use this newsletter to tease some of the coolest events coming in April and May. You can get a quick overview of coming offerings on this flyer or on our events page; below, you’ll find some more in-depth information about Going Public Day (Wednesday, May 6), which was designed for those of you seeking to expand the audience for your scholarship.
