PRI Networking Hour
The Plant Resilience Institute (PRI) hosts a bimonthly event series, PRI Networking Hour, on the second and fourth Thursday of the month during the fall and spring semesters. These hybrid workshops are open to all at MSU and focus on fostering engaging discussions on essential topics, such as responsible conduct of research, career development, writing skills, and more.

PRI All-Hands Retreat
Members of PRI gather together annually for an all-hands retreat designed to bring our community closer, foster collaboration, and ensure that all voices contribute to shaping the future of our institute. PRI retreats include presentations by faculty, poster and flash talk competitions for trainees, career development seminars, and unstructured time to socialize and network.

The 2026 PRI All-Hands Retreat will take place May 6-7, 2026 at the Michigan State University Multicultural Center. This event will provide an opportunity to meet other PRI members, share research, and establish common interests to facilitate collaborations.
