DAWN-IRES Scholars Alumni

2022 Cohort

The DAWN-IRES Scholars Program finally returned to in-person experiences in Copenhagen in 2022. You can check out photos of the adventures of the 5 undergraduate students and 3 graduate students in the 2022 Alumni Album. See if you can spot some 2021 Alumni in these shots too!

2021 Cohort

This group of students, including 5 undergraduates and 3 graduate students, has grit — persevering through the cancelled 2020 program and a remote 2021 program — but they did spectactular none-the-less! Half of the cohort went to Copenhagen for the final 2 weeks of the program and the other half visited in June 2022 for the annual DAWN Summit and the long-delayed DAWN Conference. You can check out photos from their adventures in the 2021 Alumni Album.
