First and foremost, a warm welcome to our newest interns! Our department is buzzing with excitement as we welcome them aboard, eager to see the fresh perspectives and energy they will bring to our team.
 
On a bittersweet note, we bid farewell to Maddison and Kristina as they embark on new adventures at Yale. Their contributions to YC&E have been invaluable, and while we’ll miss their presence, we’re so grateful for the time we’ve shared and wish them all the best in their future endeavors.
 
As we look ahead, we’re excited to announce open positions within our team. If you’re passionate about creating memorable experiences and thrive in a collaborative environment, we’d love to hear from you! Check out our hiring post below for more details.
