Who Are We?
Kirwan’s mission is simple: We DREAM and we EMPOWER in pursuit of a shared future that brings us TOGETHER.
Kirwan plays four main roles in the research ecosystem.
We are VISIONARIES in pursuit of our collective North Star.
We are PIONEERS who pursue innovation in our field of study.
We are WEAVERS who connect people, places, organizations, ideas and movements.
We are STORYTELLERS who craft our community’s stories and possibilities.
*We draw these roles from Deepa Iyer’s thoughtful analysis.
