Tag: matriculation

We are proud to share the matriculation decisions of 100 students from the 2019 Cohort and happy to celebrate 25 students who have other plans for the upcoming year. Each one of these scholar-practitioners has achieved a lot since joining the IRT last June, and we are confident that everyone will go on and continue to achieve great things in graduate school and beyond. Thank you all for your hard work and passion. The IRT office hopes to see each one of you return to work with future cohorts of IRT students, and we hope you stay in touch with us here in the office and with your IRT colleagues all over!
