POONAM BAIRY EXPERIENCE AT GRMI 

We asked a handful of our students to reflect on their time at GRMI so far and to answer a few questions we put to them. We hope that this series of Q&A gives you a sense of who they are and what they think of the institute. We hope it also provides a window into their academic and extracurricular lives. They all share a common love for GRMI, student experience, and a shared desire to make a difference in the world.
