ACRM Program Director Dr. Jake Chipps is celebrating cultures real and imagined at Bozeman’s inaugural First Contact Convention!

For those of you who aren't up-to-date on your Star Trek lore, Bozeman will welcome a contingent of visitors from the planet Vulcan on April 5, 2063. We're thrilled to help celebrate this (future) milestone!

Dr. Chipps will be presenting a hilarious keynote at 3:30pm on April 5. He'll take us on a deep dive into the practical lessons hidden in the Star Trek universe.  You'll learn why logic is just the beginning of wisdom and why you should never, ever wear a red shirt to a mission briefing. Essential information to help you live long and prosper!

at the Best Western Plus GranTree Inn, 1325 N 7th Ave, Bozeman
