The past 16 months have definitely been a challenge but our amazing graduate students have kept their research going despite those challenges and we are very proud of their accomplishments. We wish all of these students the very best as they move on to the next exciting steps in their careers. There are quite a few students planning to finish up this summer, and we’ll be honoring them at a later date. We look forward to celebrating in person with all of our recent graduates in the near future!
