IGERT Trainees Actively Participate in and Plan Major Conferences
IGERT Trainees raffle off additional Indoor Air 2011 T-shirts to attendees of Healthy Buildings 2009 conference
Trainees of the National Science Foundation’s Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program in Indoor Environmental Science and Engineering at The University of Texas (UT) learn from active participation in technical conferences. They are also playing a major role in planning for the student program at Indoor Air 2011 in Austin, Texas, where 300 to 400 graduate students from around the world will descend in June 2011. In this image, trainee Diana Hun and Affiliate Leonardo Ramirez (wearing tie-dye Indoor Air 2011 T-shirts) raffle off additional Indoor Air 2011 T-shirts to attendees of Healthy Buildings 2009 in Syracuse, New York. Fifteen of our trainees and affiliates attended Healthy Buildings 2009, a major conference attended by representatives of 45 countries. With 21 total attendees (15 students, 5 faculty members, 1 staff member), our IGERT program was the seventh largest “country” in attendance.
