2024: A year in review

In 2024, IAN achieved remarkable success across several fronts. Our team participated in 38 events, both virtual and in-person, across four continents. We hosted our third cohort of Global Sustainability Scholars and celebrated Alexandra Fries' receipt of the 2024 President’s Award for Outstanding Research Support. Additionally, we launched the ConversatIANs seminar series, featuring guest speakers Ed Sheldon of Fenit Coast Conservation and Dr. Sheryl Hosler from Penn State. Over the year, we forged 34 valuable partnerships, leading to the co-creation of impactful science communication products and assessments. We are deeply grateful to all who contributed to this year's achievements and are excited for the opportunities that 2025 holds, including the centennial celebration of UMCES!
