PIRE graduate students hold brownbag

On November 15, 2017, PIRE graduate students held a brownbag meeting at UConn. The meeting was attended in person by engineering and social science students from UConn, while students from University of Wisconsin and Bahir Dar University attended via teleconference. The meeting began with short introductions and informal updates. The bulk of the meeting was spent reviewing a report on site selection drafted by social science students following site visits in the summer of 2017. Ezana Atsbeha, Selam Negatu, and Berihun Tefera led the discussion and answered any questions that attendees had about the prospective sites. The meeting ended with a brief conversation about data requests and potential interdisciplinary collaborations.

Moving forward, graduate students will hold brownbags once per semester. These meetings are an excellent opportunity to stay connected with our colleagues in other disciplines and foster interdisciplinary collaboration.
