Hello EPICS Students,
I hope you made it through the semester safe and healthy. I wanted to send another opportunity for volunteers to help with PPE production on campus. This will the last email I send so I'm not flooding inboxes of those of you who are geographically far from West Lafayette. Many of you have put a lot of hours into this effort, and we really appreciate how generous you are with your time and energy - it really exemplifies the EPICS spirit. I wish you all a happy summer, and hope to see you back in EPICS soon.
If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up at https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bwOXzGBf9LrQ8EB .
We have a major need for more sewing help, so please reach out to anyone you know in the local area who can sew. Anyone interested in learning to sew or using one of the sewing machines in Matthews to help sew are encouraged to volunteer as well.
Thank you very much,
Andrew

Important EPICS Week 16 Announcements – Final Week
Hi all,
It has truly been my pleasure to work with you all of this semester. All of us in the EPICS staff were so impressed with your resilience and can-do spirit through this crisis, and we could not be more proud of the progress that you all have made. We are working hard to make sure that you will have the opportunity to have a great experience again with us in the fall. Have a great summer, keep your spirits up, and we wish you health and look forward to seeing you back as soon as we can.
Best,
Andrew
