Annual Retreat
The Vitoux Program hosts an annual retreat in the fall that is open campus wide to those conducting aging and prevention research. The goals of the annual retreat are to share ongoing research around aging and prevention, to network and bring together scholars with similar research interests, to generate novel ideas for future work, and to recognize scholars for their important work accomplished over the past year. A highlight of the retreat will be the distinguished researcher lecture where a renowned expert will be invited each year to present their outstanding work and contributions to the field.

INSTRUCTIONS: In order to add a sidebar anchor:
- Duplicate the existing item, listed as a 1/6 text field. (Or create a 1/6 column and add a text field, modify the class so it’s exactly “additionalAnchor”).
- Modify the text field inside the 1/6 column. Inside there, modify the HYPERLINK so that it would go to a corresponding section with a “#” in front of it. (Example, we have a “chief” section on the page, then it would make sense to have the hyperlink go to “#chief”)
- Then change the hyperlink TEXT to a appropriate label.
- IMPORTANT: If not done already, go into that CONTAINER that corresponds to your anchor (i.e. Meet The Chiefs), and add an ID matching the anchor’s HYPERLINK WITHOUT the “#”, i.e. “chief”.
- (If using side bar widget box, then there’s a saved copy of a widget box COLUMN, grab it in the column library, it should 1/6 of a length of a column.)
NOTE: Order added to the sidebar is from last to first.
