Collaboration Cafe – open every Friday afternoon!

The CHS Collaboration Cafe is an opportunity for you to connect with colleagues every Friday afternoon in a cafe-style atmosphere. Coffee, tea and refreshments will be provided by the college and are from our student-run SPARKS Cafe. The space will be set up to allow for flexibility whether you’re looking for individual, small or large-group work. The room will also be divided in to two spaces with one area designated for specific side conversations and topics.

The CHS Collaboration Cafe is a perfect spot to meet up with colleagues for:

• Collaborative planning over a specific Request For Proposal (RFP)
• Meetings of research specialty areas
• Invited groups to brainstorm collaborative ideas over special topics/interest areas
• Mentor and mentee get togethers
• Consultations with the REACHS team
