MICHR is excited to begin gearing up for our first annual IDEAL Community and Health Equity Symposium. With this symposium, we are looking to bring together University and Community researchers, staff, partners, and collaborators - whether past, current, or prospective - for education and connection. The event will feature guest speakers, offer context for emerging work at MICHR, signal areas of opportunity for advancing health equity via research, and provide a platform for organic networking and connection. We welcome friends old and new to this symposium and hope you will consider lending your unique voice to our event.
