What are they? Small cohorts of three to four faculty who meet regularly during the academic year to discuss their research, scholarship and/or professional writing. The first RIG meeting will establish the goals and objectives of the group members, guidelines for giving and receiving feedback and a meeting schedule.
Why should I be involved? Faculty who are looking for feedback from their peers on their research endeavors.
