Resilience Research in Action
Our 2023 symposium featured panel discussions, lightning talks, creative presentations, and posters from faculty, researchers, and students from more than 20 academic departments, as well as a dozen community-based partners. We welcomed Dr. Susan Cutter as our opening keynote presenter and Dr. Daniel Banks for a closing community keynote forum.
