RVT FUN
We strive to create a culture of collaboration – and fun. In a typical year we:
- have a fall welcome party
- attend WPA together – working hard, but also happy hours and tapas
- have a commencement BBQ
- when dissertation proposals and defenses are in person, RVT members bring treats so that the dissertant only has to worry about the defense (and then we hang out afterward to celebrate)
Pictured below are snaps of some of the fun. As someone who is still relatively new to R, I haven’t yet figured out how to rotate the images.
