2025 IPG Spring Open House

VTIPG faculty and staff welcomed long-time and new friends for our fourth annual Spring Open House on March 27, 2025. Colleagues joined us for conversation, fellowship and to share in an array of dishes prepared by Institute faculty, staff and graduate students, including various homemade soups, sandwiches, salads and desserts. We were grateful to have food from many parts of the world represented, including China, Colombia, Ghana, India, Iran, and Jordan!
