Celebrating 5 years of the Institute for Future PUI Faculty (IFPF)

The fifth cohort of the Institute for Future PUI Faculty (IFPF) is here! The IFPF is a two-week immersive training program for graduate students/postdoctoral scholars interested in careers at primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) like Lafayette. Most importantly, it connects Lafayette students with these scholars, allowing them to learn more about graduate school and the cutting-edge research the scholars are conducting. Join IFPF as the scholars give research presentations. 12:15 p.m. Tues., April 14 at Hugel Science Center, Room 205 • 12:15 p.m. Thurs., April 16 at Hugel Science Center, Room 100
