First Fridays at the Farm: A Monthly Scholarship Retreat (Faculty Community)
Fri, 3 Feb 2023 8:30 AM - Fri, 5 May 2023 4:00 PM
Escape main campus to focus on your scholarship in a beautiful natural setting. Need a distraction-free space with other scholars to work on your scholarly projects? Join us for a scholarship retreat the first Friday of each month at the JMU Farm.
Located 20-minutes from JMU’s campus, the facility offers 30 acres of nature including a view of the river and plenty of green space. Get away from the distractions of main campus to focus on your scholarship in a beautiful natural setting. Participants can choose to attend all day or for portions of the day for self-directed time to work on your scholarship, mini-workshops on scholarly processes, and 1:1 scholarship consultations by CFI staff and partners. Workshop topics, facilitators, and times will be sent to registered attendees one week before the event. There will also be check-ins and opportunities to connect with other scholars over meals.
A light breakfast (sponsored by R&S), lunch, snacks and coffee will be provided. Space is limited!
Note: The main floor of the home is accessible but stairs are required to access the second floor. All group activities will be scheduled on the main floor with the second floor used for quiet working space.
FIRST FRIDAYS AT THE FARM: A Monthly Scholarship Retreat will meet from 8:30am to 4pm on the following Fridays: 2/3, 3/3, 4/7 and 5/5.
