  • “Through the EA Intro Program, I not only got an overview of various EA-relevant topics, but also had the opportunity to question my own perspective on these topics in the many discussions. I was particularly enthusiastic about the group dynamics and the willingness to support, both on the part of the moderators and the other fellows. Even after completing the program, I am still in contact with some of the fellows and we have been meeting regularly for career planning sessions ever since. Overall, I feel part of the EA community since the Intro Program.”
