Each year, the Employee Diversity Team (EDT) acknowledges members of the NCI at Frederick Community for their achievements and contributions towards the mission of facility.  Historically, the team has profiled the “Women of NCI at Frederick,” but this year, the team decided to instead shed light on the diverse and successful individuals who make up the international fellows community. The EDT congratulates the winners of this year’s “International Fellows of NCI at Frederick.” Details of their achievements and unique personalities are also on display in Building 549.
