In 2023, we hosted our tenth annual Celebrate Research<\/em> event. For the first time since the pandemic began, we held this event in-person at St. Joe’s Charlton campus instead of a virtual presentation. Though the virtual format allowed us to reach a larger audience from 2020 to 2022 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, returning to the in-person format bolstered the sense of community.<\/p>\n Celebrate Research 2023 <\/em>was held in November during our second Learning Pillar<\/em> Week. <\/em>This event saw its highest attendance to date.
