ANIMAL RESEARCH COMPLIANCE (ARC) SEMINAR SERIES (SS)
The ARC Seminar Series is a CPIA CE Credit eligible, virtual, community-wide series created by Eugene Matullo that focuses conversation around Animal Research Administration. The meetings take place virtually and all recordings and presentation data can be accessed in the member area.
***For approved sessions: Seminar participants who hold the Certified Professional in IACUC Administration (CPIA®) credential may apply 1.0 continuing education credits towards CPIA recertification Category 2 credit.***
Please see below for the 2024 season schedule. We look forward to having you join us. If you have any questions, please email e.matullo@gmail.com.
What We Value:
Community- Sessions are informal and will be focused on community engagement to further our understanding collectively.
Curiosity-Collegiality-Compassion (3Cs) – In order to move past program barriers, we need a space where we can share openly without fear, judgement and repercussion. This means that we all show up each meeting with the 3Cs guiding our interactions and conversation.
Open-mindedness – We come to each meeting “emptying our cup” so that we can be open to receive ideas and information from others without bias – thus, filling the cup back up with new insights.
