After each ICYD, we write a wrap up post, acknowledging the work our students and coaches put in to learn and succeed.

This time around, the incredible @MarikPriyam did us that honour, by chronicling our journey and successes at ICYD 2022 for @ttindia

Sneak peaks into her upcoming work on female friendships and liberalisation! We couldn't identify more with the benefits of having deep and diverse friendships among women at workplaces.

[Alice Evans @_alice_evans]

The best question from @TeamIndiaWSDC was something along the lines of..

“Ok, so you think deep & diverse female friendships are a second effect of women entering the workforce en masse.

Can female friendships be cultivated & have the same impact without that foundation?”

[Team India WSDC @TeamIndiaWSDC]

Could not be more honoured and more proud of our kids.

@srajagopalan the questions from this group were more thoughtful and showed a firmer grasp of the ideas than most academic audiences. Wow.

[Team India WSDC @TeamIndiaWSDC]

The incredible Prof. @_alice_evans (and puppy Evans) spoke to the Indian National Debating Squad today about the importance of female friendships.

Can't wait to read her upcoming work on female friendships and liberalisation!
