Good afternoon, colleagues.

At the end of April, Appalachian State and the Office of Research and Innovation (ORI) were honored to host a regional multi-stakeholder workshop focused on Western North Carolina Research for Recovery & Resilience (WNC R3), funded by the NC Collaboratory.  We are reaching out now to invite you to a faculty-specific follow up opportunity to discuss outcomes of the workshop and provide an opportunity for people to connect on potential research/creative projects that align with Helene recovery and regional resilience needs. 

The purpose of this session is to invite attendees and those who may have missed the workshop alike, so we can report on workshop outcomes and explore how ORI might support progress on related research initiatives.

This session will take place on Thursday, June 19 from 10-12 in JET 387 with an option to join via Zoom. We hope you’re able to join us. Feel free to share this invitation with other AppState colleagues.

Please contact g...@appstate.edu to RSVP, and let us know if you have questions about this session.

All the best,

Dr. Christine Hendren, VPRI 

Dr. Katie Shoaf

WNC R3 co-chairs

Good afternoon,

One final invitation and reminder to our upcoming WNC R3 Faculty Follow Up Session next week on Thursday, June 19 from 10AM-12PM. As a note, we have modified this meeting to take place completely virtually via Zoom, and we have also opened it up for community partners to join us if you have collaborators (or potential collaborators) who would benefit from this session. 

Please let me know if you'd like to be added to the calendar invite. 

All the best and Happy Friday, 

Katie
