From the Director
Countdown now to the amazing chief performance at the upcoming winter holiday celebration! No pressure (well maybe a little)…. we know you will be amazing.
Congratulations again to all who matched in fellowships this past week. We are excited to also announce the job placements for those not in the match. Super proud of you all!
No major other announcements this week, just gearing up to get the schedule request forms out to our rising JARs and rising SARs. Current SARs, we will be sending some info on boards registration as well.
