My name is Ellie, and I’m your new Recruitment Chair. This is my first year in Pryt, and I’ve loved all the wonderful people I’ve met and the memories I’ve already made.

On campus, I work as a Tour Guide and am actually on the Recruitment Team there as well. I also work for Yellow Cluster Advising, which oversees Psychology, Cognitive Science, Philosophy, and Science and Technology Studies.
