Volunteer with AAAS Emerging Leaders in Science and Society!


The AAAS Emerging Leaders in Science and Society (ELISS) Purdue 2016 Fellows are planning and hosting an event with Indiana community members and experts.

Learnings from this local event will be discussed at a national event with federal policymakers in Washington DC!
