This program fosters opportunities to learn from interdisciplinary peers across the tri-campus and provides weekly sessions focused on practical, step-by-step advice in getting an article published in a high-impact, peer-reviewed journal. Over 88 faculty members have participated in the accelerator. Expressions of interest are currently open until August 8, 2025.

The series alternates between two formats: a webinar with faculty speakers and a hands-on in-person workshop for researchers and their research teams to learn tools and best practices in media such as data visualization, podcasting, and graphic facilitation.
