CELS July 2025 In-Person Priority Week

Jul 7, 2025, 8:00 AM → Jul 10, 2025, 5:00 PM America/Chicago

We are thrilled to announce this summer's CELS In-Person Priority Week starting Monday, July 7th – Thursday, July 10th. All CELS staff, students, postdocs, collaborators, and contractors are highly encouraged to work onsite and participate in a wide array of face-to-face collaboration and Directorate activities. This in-person week will be jam-packed with Division meetings, all-hands meetings, special events, and a variety of interactive activities.

We want to emphasize the importance of in-person participation for an enriched and engaging experience. However, we understand that not everyone may be able to join us in person due to various constraints, therefore, we are offering some hybrid options that allow you to participate remotely.

Please register for the scientific meetings and social events you will participate in, including the CELS Directorate-wide luncheon!
