DUG leader reflections:
Our two most successful events were the Halloween reading and Concentration Declaration Day -- they were well attended and people enjoyed themselves. As a graduating senior, I am also proud to have facilitated a smooth transition into new leadership for the DUG.
Our DUG grew both in terms of the number of events, members, and organizers, as well as the kind of students involved, their interests, and their backgrounds. Making the DUG more inclusive is an ongoing project that I am proud to have assisted in during my year as its President.
Our socials are the most popular DUG events, and allow undergraduate and graduate students to meet and socialize. Professors and staff come too, and these events foster a really strong sense of community within our department.
