Last year, we selected our first cohort of Impact Scholars. The cohort represented a diverse cross-section of the University coming from 9 different Colleges or Institutes. They successfully completed the workshop series in Spring 2021 and are actively competing their broader impacts projects. To learn more about the 2021 cohort and their work, click the link below.
