Confluencenter Faculty Advisory Board Update

The Confluencenter for Creative Inquiry is currently in the process of renewing its Faculty Advisory Board.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our outgoing board members for their dedicated service, guidance, and valuable contributions to Confluencenter’s mission. Their leadership has been instrumental in supporting transdisciplinary research, community engagement, and creative inquiry across our campus and our communities.

We look forward to announcing our new board members soon. Please check back for updates.
