Summer Scholarship Retreats @ the Farm (Faculty Community)
Wed, 31 May 2023 9:00 AM - Wed, 26 Jul 2023 4:00 PM
Need a distraction-free space with other scholars to work on your scholarly projects? Join us for summer scholarship retreats on Wednesdays 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. Participants can choose to attend all day or 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 before the retreat. There will also be check-ins and opportunities to connect with other scholars over meals.
Lunch, snacks, and coffee/tea will be provided. Please include any accessibility needs including dietary restrictions in your profile (refer to the registration process).
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.

Cancellations:
If you find that you are unable to attend a scheduled event prior to the registration deadline, please return to your "CFI Program Account" and cancel your registration. If it is after the event registration deadline, please email cfi@jmu.edu as early as possible to avoid being waitlisted for future events.
We value your interest in this popular writing retreat; however, due to the high demand of faculty interest for this program, a registered participant who doesn't attend one of these scheduled events without prior notification to CFI may result in being waitlisted for future writing retreats this semester.
We appreciate your respect for our programs and others that wish to attend.
CFI programs will be canceled automatically if JMU is closed for inclement weather.
We want this program to be welcoming, accessible, and inclusive for all of our participants. Please describe any considerations or accommodations (e.g., dietary, disability, wellness, cultural, etc.) you want us to know about in your account profile. You may also reach out to us at cfi@jmu.edu or (540) 568-4846.
