It is now the 1st of September, which means the JRP Internship has finished. Before we share the amazing outputs of their work with the world, we just wanted to take a moment to congratulate them, not only on a tremendously successful month, but on doing so while remaining the first JRP cohort to finish with 100% of those who started. They are a large group of exceptional talents with not only an enviable work ethic, but unprecedented cohesion. With over 30 people committing to the internship for 2016, the JRP Team knew it would present a challenge, but this group made it the best sort of opportunity to produce meaningful work with genuine impact potential.
As we draw an official close on the entire year – from the summer school in Spain to last night’s internship countdown – we want to commend the 39 students, six Supervisors, JRP and jSchool Team members, alumni, and the many special contributors who made this year so special. While this is only just a beginning for the work, please forgive us if a we take a moment to thank you and express our sincere awe for everything you have done.
