Consortium Scholars Retreat

July 10-12, 2024
Hosted by Consortium member institution, Brown University
Providence, Rhode Island

Consortium scholars, liaisons, and staff gathered at Brown University from July 9 to 12, 2024 for our first Consortium Summer Retreat since the COVID-19 Pandemic. Coming from all over the East Coast, Cincinnati, New Orleans, Nebraska, and even South Africa, the retreat was a joyous occasion to meet one another in person, discuss Consortium programs and challenges scholars face, and discover some of the cultural riches of Providence, Rhode Island.

 

One of the highlights was a talk given by Dr. Adam Levine, Associate Dean of Biology and Medicine, Director of Global Health Initiative, and Professor of Emergency Medicine at Brown University. Dr. Levine discussed the logistical challenges and inequalities of global public health, and the necessary changes needed to address the myriad of health crises around the world adequately.

We attended a Concert Under the Elms sponsored by the Rhode Island Historical Society.

More than anything, the retreat was a rare and cherished opportunity for members of the Consortium from around the world to enjoy each other’s company in person and to strengthen the ties among them. We are immensely grateful to Brown University and its excellent staff members for their boundless generosity.
