ARC Scholarly Mixer: Thursday, May 29, 2025

NU faculty, staff, alumni, and students:

Are you interested in collaborating with other scholars on academic publications and conference presentations?

Please join us for the ARC Scholarly Mixer on 5/29/25 at 7pm Eastern time! Register for the Zoom here

At the mixer, you will learn about opportunities and network in small breakout rooms to chat with potential scholarly partners or groups about your research interests. ARC can then help you to realize these scholarly dreams. Even if you’re just casually browsing, please do attend! It’s a fun and casual scholarly experience.

Please email Dr. Maggie Broderick with questions or input: mbroderick@nu.edu

NU Research Academy searchable database

NU's Whole Person Center hosts a searchable database run by the Research Academy sub-committee (of the JFKSOPSS Grants and Research Committee). This is another great way to connect with NU scholars interested in collaborating on publications and presentations!

ARC OLC Conference Proposals Workgroup

NU Faculty and Staff:

The Advanced Research Center (ARC) invites you to join our OLC Conference Proposals Workgroup!

The Online Learning Consortium (OLC) will hold its in-person conference in November at Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL. Our workgroup is for NU faculty and staff interested in collaborating on and/or receiving guidance and support on their conference session proposals. OLC’s deadline for proposals is May 21. NU is an OLC affiliate eligible for group rates to the conference. Once we have a group of presenters and attendees together, we can also work on getting a group rate to attend in November. If desired, faculty and staff may also be able to partner with interested students and alumni once our group is established.
