Building Connections, Creating Change
March 23-27, 2026
A week for faculty, staff, and trainees dedicated to connection, collaboration, and progress. Together, we’ll explore ideas, share expertise, and champion initiatives that strengthen the Department of Medicine.
Cultural Wall
The Cultural Wall invites our community to share who we are—marking where we’re from on a world map, adding recipes or food photos, contributing languages, and highlighting songs or lyrics that reflect our cultures. There will be stations at each event and QR codes around the medical campus for community members to contribute.
