Hello everyone! I hope you have had a relaxing holiday break and are invigorated for the new semester! I would like to announce our first SACNAS event of the semester.

We will be holding a Chat Hour this Thursday (Feb 4th) at 5 pm via Zoom (link below) where you can come relax and chat with the SACNAS board and your fellow SACNAistas! We’ll be previewing our plans for the semester and answering any questions you may have about SACNAS.
