Uncertainty in the federal funding landscape has prompted researchers to consider multiple options and strategies to sustain and build their research programs. Entrepreneurial activities are one potential path. What are the considerations and processes for working with industry or launching a business venture that leverages your research program and expertise? The goal of this research conversation is to learn through the experiences of colleagues that are engaged in these activities and to be introduced to the resources available at UConn to support you through the process.Featured PanelistsRahul Kanadia, Associate Professor, Department of Physiology & Neurobiology Michael Lynes, Professor, Department of Molecular and Cell Biology Greg Sotzing, Professor, Department of Chemistry and Institute for Materials Sciences Carlos Trallero, Professor, Department of Physics Ryan McMillian, Director, Venture Development at the University of Connecticut RSVP for this event (https://forms.office.com/r/dBj4zm4tsW)

BLOOM: Undergraduate Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) This group is a space created for female Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) - identifying students to cultivate vulnerability, safety, trust, connection, and growth. Bloom provides a place for group members to discuss issues unique to their experience at a predominantly white institution (PWI), including academic stress, relationships, race/ethnicity related stress, familial pressures and navigating cultural expectations. There will be an emphasis on healing, maintaining healthy relationships and setting boundaries. Bloom means to be open, blossom and to maintain flourishing conditions that help us grow. It's time to Bloom. To join this group therapy session, please call SHaW at 860-486-4700 (tel:+18604864705) This session is held by Natasha Welz, DSW, LCSW (https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/person/natasha-welz/) For many concerns that students face – like overwhelming stress, anxiety, difficult relationships, depression, academic difficulties, and more – group therapy is the best option for support and healing. Facilitated by Student Health and Wellness (SHaW) counselors, our therapy groups encourage peer support, promote emotional wellbeing, and increase a felt sense of connection. Participants often find that they feel less alone in their struggles, and walk away with newfound support and ideas for coping.
