Nelson Cronyn, ALRS-GIDP Doctoral Candidate is Moving Up!

Through the years the GIDP ALRS phd program has seen a number of its graduates successfully make their mark in their chosen fields of research. We are equally proud of the achievements of our current students, and  Nelson Cronyn in particular is one of those students who has been juggling dissertation research along with his most recent appointment as Director of Agriculture, Department of Compact Operations, Millenenium Challenge Corporation, USA.
