As with any program of this complexity, novelty, and magnitude, success is contingent on constant change in the face of new and evolving challenges. In that spirit, we hope our suggestions below are useful for the continuing success of EI IGERT. "Overall we found the retreat to be well-organized, very informative, and inspiring. The students who organized the event did a great job, but there were a few aspects that could be changed." |
