"Making the Connection" aims to bring together the campus research community to highlight The University of Arizona's infrastructure, expertise and experience in Translational Environmental Research. The one-day symposium will provide opportunities for the UA community to: 

• Exchange knowledge about TER initiatives, models and practice
• Build capacity for expanding TER activities on campus
• Address needs for building the capacity to develop a new generation of researchers poised to bring science discoveries to more rapid use and implementation in resource management, operations, planning and policy.

Featured speakers include Timothy J. Brown of the Desert Research Institute, Jonathan Overpeck of the Institute for Environment and Society, Chuck Hutchinson of the Office of Arid Lands Studies and panelists from UA departments and research initiatives.

TER is partly funded by the UA Technology and Research Initiative Fund.
