EScAN

The Exec Board is sad to announce that EScAN will not be returning as an active organization this Fall semester. We're incredibly proud of everything accomplished by our graduate student members over nearly a decade of EScAN's presence on campus! Thank you to all our supporters -

especially the many SciPol professionals who volunteered their time & insights to speak on career panels, our great friends at @Sci4GA, & EScAN's faculty advisor @joelpbaumgart!
