Graduate Education Program Match Day Celebration

A group of five students stand around a gingerbread house they decorated.
Each fall, cohorts in ID IGEP complete a series of three 4‑week research rotations. These short, intensive rotations allow students to experience different research environments, explore new techniques, and identify the lab that best aligns with their scientific interests and mentorship needs. After completing all rotations, students and faculty work together to determine the best long‑term research home. Congratulations to the students on successful matches!
