Community of LINC Scholars

To consolidate gains and prepare for future innovation and growth, the LINC Academic Affairs Council has prioritized the implementation of events and opportunities to facilitate interaction, engagement, and collaboration across LINC Councils. We built the Community of LINC Scholars in response, which includes bi-monthly meetings featuring short scholarly presentations followed by brainstorming and networking. We also created a list of presentation venues to disseminate your scholarly work, which you can access here.
