Saying goodbye in style, as always. 🌅 #Evol2026 We can’t wait to see you all next year—trading the lakeside for the beachside in San Juan, Puerto Rico! 🌴
Last day of #Evol2026 and energy levels approaching zero? 🍭 The GSAC booth still has plenty of candy to share (including allergy-friendly options)! No free books, unfortunately—that’s a budget line item well above the average grad student pay grade. 😅 Come say hi and grab a treat!
Follow, Spin and Win! Also, dont forget to tag us in your #Evol2026 post to enter a raffle to win tote bag or coffee mug.
