This month, we highlight Coffee and Conversations, a new book launch, the latest Insight Collaborative Conversation, resources from our recent Nova Campfire, and so much more. Read on for highlights!
Coffee and Conversations Spotlight
After nearly a year of Hub User Spotlights, we pause to shine a light on another activity created to forge connections and community within the Hub—Coffee and Conversations!
These casual, monthly Zoom gatherings bring Hub users together to connect in real time and explore what’s on their mind. September’s call focused on the theme of giving back. As the fall settles in, we’ll probe themes of rest and reflection during times of change.
Join us Friday, October 24 from 11:30 am – 12:15 pm ET. Please remember to register so we know you’re coming.
