Santa Rosa Island Research Station Trip

You are invited to visit CSUCI's Santa Rosa Island Research Station on May 23, 2022

The Center for Integrative Studies, with support from the HIPEE (High Impact Practices Experiential Education) Unit, is pleased to announce our 2nd Annual Integrative (Restorative!) Faculty Retreat day-trip to Santa Rosa Island.

DATE: May 23, 2022; All-Day excursion
After another year of covid-induced adjustment, re-adjustment (etc), CIS invites faculty from all ranks, disciplines, and divisions across campus to come together at the Santa Rosa Island Research Station (SRIRS) to reflect on the past year and on opportunities for growth, development, and inspiration for the coming year -- as well as on opportunities for interdisciplinarity and integrating the SRIRS into their courses. We will host several optional short hikes and other activities, as well as an overview of the station’s role and resources.

Attention Faculty: Do you need money for something you are working on or
thinking about? Microphones to record beavers underwater? Attend that
cool-sounding interdisciplinary conference (with or without students)? A
speaking gig in Florence? The Center for Integrative Studies has funding
available — you need only ask!*
