 Over 50 graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and staff gathered in the JILA Auditorium on Thursday, March 13th, for the next session of the Graduate Student Seminar Series, hosted by the JILA Association of Graduate Students (JAGS) and the Graduate Association of Students in Physics (GASP). The event began with a provided lunch, allowing attendees to connect with colleagues before diving into two fascinating research presentations: one from the Regal group in JILA and one from the Lee group in the University of Colorado Boulder physics department. 

The JILA Association of Graduate Students (JAGS) recently hosted a stress-relief event featuring two special guests from Go Team Therapy Dogs. The friendly therapy dogs had just walked over from the CU Rec Center, where they were greeted by over 200 students, before making their way to JILA.

The latest episode of the Humans of JILA podcast spotlights the JILA Association of Graduate Students (JAGS), a recently formed group dedicated to supporting the graduate student experience at JILA. Whether students are just beginning their graduate journey or nearing completion, JAGS provides resources, fosters community, and promotes professional development to help them thrive.

On November 7, 2024, the Rayback Collective in Boulder hosted 65 current and former members of the JILA community gathered for the "Life After JILA" alumni mixer. The event, now managed by the JILA Association of Graduate Students (JAGS), offered an evening of reconnection, networking, and celebration of JILA's rich history and community.
