Many thanks to Dr. Mikey Nusbaum for his 4 years of service as BGS Director! In addition to this role, Mikey has also been a supporter of many EE Just student advocacy initiatives over the past few years. While we all strive to work hard in lab and in the classroom, it's Mikey's friendly smile and endless supply of tie-dye tshirts that remind us that a PhD can be fun too! EE Just is now officially part of the tshirt collection 😄 Congrats, Mikey!
