Before YAG, I didn't know what I wanted to major in or do as a career, but the entirety of the experience made me fall in love with policy and legislation. All of my friends, non-STEM and STEM, can 100% say that they gained valuable leadership skills from this club. "

I am immensely grateful to YAG for making me the person who I am today.
