IRIS is a small team, and all these accomplishments are a testament to each team member's creativity, collaborative spirit, and willingness to pitch in wherever there's a need. So this is a big thank you to the whole IRIS extended family for taking "other duties as assigned" to a whole new level!

💻 We've developed new tools for digital storytelling, public digital humanities, and student work. (Watch this space in the coming months as we share those tools!)

📖 IRIS faculty have attended conferences, published articles, and created new DH research projects.

📈 And so much more!

🎉 With support from Mellon, we welcomed our first cohort of 100 CODE Scholars, quadrupling our impact on students and community partners alike.

🎓 Our oldest CODES cohort is flying the nest! One graduates early this weekend, and the others will walk the stage in the spring. We are so proud of them!
