CoARS Showcase

The CoARS Showcase Series is our ‘town square’. It is a monthly, online meeting, in which we get together to provide feedback to each other. A main presenter presents their research (e.g., findings, ideas, work-in-progress), and brings questions. Participants provide feedback. News and opportunities are shared at the beginning and end of each meeting.

The showcases are hosted on the 2nd Wednesday every month from 1:00-2:00 PM Eastern Time.

To present or participate, reach out to Patrick Hibbard (pfhibbard@chestnut.org).
