iPiPE Participant Mixer iPMx5 - Raleigh, NC, 5-6 February 2019
The iPiPE hosted the fifth annual iPiPE Participant Mixer at the Park Alumni Center in Raleigh, North Carolina on 5-6 February 2019. Discussions focused on the results of market research conducted during the Fall 2018 and a new strategic plan to carry the project beyond the current grant. Participants were somewhat distracted by the 70+ degree beautiful sunny weather but shared a lot of good ideas on how to improve the iPiPE and extend the project. The intern poster session was perhaps the most enjoyable part of the meeting with over 20 undergraduate students earning awards for their poster presentations as well as publicity materials for engaging stakeholders to participate in iPiPE. |
