“I am the leader of the Exit Club along with my peer Elyana Konsul (SDSE 1’7). The club was inspired from the lectures at the Yale Young Global Scholars Program. The club’s title represents a pause from reality and the worries of life for the members to recline and think about intriguing principles or fascinating concepts. Those concepts and principles are enforced by our YYGS lectures in the fields of Biomedical Sciences/ Politics in addition to peer reviewed research and movies that demonstrate these concepts.
