  All Day

  The Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) program is designed to facilitate long-term research involving large teams of faculty/staff members and students. The students gain valuable research skills and academic credit through their participation, and faculty are able to scale up their research through the framework provided by VIP. In the initial year, the Office of Undergraduate Research will provide each team with $5,000 in seed money to launch their VIP team.

   

  If you have any other questions, please let us know at our@kennesaw.edu.

  This two-day writing retreat is designed to give researchers across all disciplines dedicated time and space to focus on the writing projects that matter most to them, including grant proposals, journal articles, book manuscripts, and more. Intended as a kickoff to summer research activities, the retreat provides a supportive environment with structured writing time, community, and meals to help participants make meaningful progress.

   

  In addition to protected writing time, optional workshops will cover key proposal components such as budgets, biosketches, facilities descriptions, and data management plans to further support research success.

  Writing Retreat for STEM + nonSTEM Faculty

  8:30am

  at iSTEM Building

  We will be hosting a two-day writing retreat aiming to bring together researchers working both in and beyond STEM. We will provide time, space, food, and a sense of community and common purpose to kick off a productive summer of research. Workshops on supporting documents (e.g., budget, human subjects, biosketches, etc.) will intersperse the retreat.
