Alumni<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The IFT makes a concerted effort to keep track of its alumni and to encourage continued interaction and feedback, both with those who remain in academia and those who have thriving careers in other settings. A recently compiled comprehensive set of statistics on IFT alumni can be found here<\/a>. This list<\/a> details IFT alumni from 1996 onwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the graph below, for example, we can see the historical flow of alumni since the creation of the IFT.<\/p>\n\n\n
