Breaking Boundaries Forums bring the CWRU community together to spark interdisciplinary collaboration and connect faculty. Each forum explores a distinct theme through: a keynote address; a spotlight session highlighting cross-campus research partnerships; and a networking reception designed to foster connections across disciplines. The forum builds visibility, creates a professional space for idea exchange, and offers attendees valuable insights to take back to their work.
Intended Audience: Faculty, post-docs, and graduate students (open to all CWRU community members).
