A Note From ARIS Executive Director Susan Renoe
March 2022
I hope wherever you are, you’ve been experiencing a little taste of Spring. As I type, the sun is shining, and there is no snow on the ground (for today at least!). The change of season means that it is time for the Broader Impacts Summit. We are furiously working on the agenda and hope to open registration soon.
However, we are excited to announce several National Science Foundation (NSF) speakers including:
- Dr. Alicia Knoedler, Head, Office of Integrated Activities (OIA) (May 9, 1 p.m.)
- Dr. Cecilia Speroni NSF Education & Training Application (ETAP) and Dr. Clemencia Cosentino, NSF Education and Training Application (ETAP) platform (May 10, 1 p.m.)
- Dr. Erwin Gianchandani, Assistant Director for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships, TIP Directorate, discussing the new NSF Directorate for Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) (May 17, 1 p.m.)
(All times are Central.)
As always, there will be engaging workshops, informative posters and cool ARIS swag!!! We look forward to seeing you in May!
