The latest episode of the Humans of JILA podcast spotlights the JILA Association of Graduate Students (JAGS), a recently formed group dedicated to supporting the graduate student experience at JILA. Whether students are just beginning their graduate journey or nearing completion, JAGS provides resources, fosters community, and promotes professional development to help them thrive.

On a cold November evening at the Rayback Collective in Boulder, JILA hosted its inaugural "Life After JILA" Alumni Mixer. As hosted by the Life After JILA group within the institute, the Mixer invited alumni from the Colorado and Front Range areas to a night of networking and reconnecting. Over 40 individuals came for the event, including alumni now employed at NIST, DU, Quantinuum, Infleqtion, FormFactor, and LASP.
