"AGEP has been a valuable networking resource. Through our monthly meetings, I was able to meet a professor on campus who has provided some citation resources as well as refer me for an instructor job at Lyman Briggs Residential College at MSU. As well, the funding support has helped me conduct research, and attend classes and conferences."

"The AGEP community has been a constant source of support and inspiration during my time at Michigan State. Meeting regularly with such a diverse group of scholars from different backgrounds and various research interests encourages me to think about my work as an emerging social scientist in new ways."
