"iCons will always be a way of life for me, and the iCons program will continue to inform my most important career decisions. I will forever see the world through the lens of an iCons student. I have high expectations for myself going forward, and I have high expectations for all those who graduate from the iCons program at UMass Amherst. May our combined efforts be for the benefit of all." ---- Kurt Schultz

iCons graduate Lily Fitzgerald’s passion for science led her to pursue a field atypical for members of the scientific community: public policy.
Fitzgerald graduated University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2014 with an environmental science major and a biochemistry and molecular biology minor. She was also a member of the iCons Biomedicine and Biosystems track.
After graduating, Fitzgerald worked in biotechnology industry for three years, but her desire for enacting change through governmental policy never faded. From here, she applied and was accepted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Masters’ Program for Technology and Policy.
Tuesday 3/21, iCons students proved there is no craft they can't tackle. Check Decoupage off the list. Students and faculty (Ally Hunter) gathered in ISB 145 armed with nothing more than scissors, craft paper, e6000 apoxy, mod podge, and some creativity. Some beautiful work was created and some fun had. At the end of the time, the pizza box was empty and many were peeling the glue off of their fingers with a look of accomplishment on their faces. A small break from the stresses of academic life.
Come join us next time if you can make it :)
The iCons Community joins together for many events outside the classroom. Here are a few from last semester!
