<br>Last year we bootstrapped ourselves from having no initial budget/collaborators, so this year can only be even more amazing. Come be a part of it!
<br><br>There are varying levels of commitment from helping out with specific tasks to leading an event. No previous event planning/GWAMIT experience required. We especially encourage students in their early years of grad school to get involved.<br>
