Seed Grant: Building Bridges in Beaufort: A Shoebox Lunch Series to Connect Faculty and BIPOC Community Leaders ·
2021
Co-Lead ·
Awarded by: Duke Office for Faculty Advancement
This project seeks to establish new connections between the Duke University Marine Lab and Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) community leaders in Beaufort, NC. A monthly lunch-and-learn for all participants will be supplemented by a final all-hands meeting during Black History Month for a shared meal and storytelling. Invitees, format and assessment metrics will be refined through an initial development period. https://facultyadvancement.duke.edu/2021-faculty-advancement-seed-grants-awardees
