The Institute of Government and Public Affairs invites faculty and administrators within the University of Illinois System to our next faculty coffee on Tuesday, September 5, 2023 from 2:00 – 3:00 PM CT, in Urbana and on Zoom.

IGPA will be hosting Professor Jacinda Dariotis who will speak about her IGPA funded Research Scholar Initiative: COVID-19 Thorns & Silver Linings: A Mixed-Method Study of Role Reversal, Overload, Stress, and Resilience.
