The sweetest survey results are here❣️ 🍭🍬 On Maryland Day, we asked how much you were willing to pay for a piece of candy. Nearly 700 people responded giving us this tasteful insight on consumer willingness! If this triggers your sweet tooth, check out AREC to be apart of many more insightful opportunities!
P.S.- parents were sorry your children said they would pay $5+ for one fun sized candy piece. With that being said if they’re still in the market for singular candy pieces please contact us for pricing. ;)

Hot take 🔥 A lot of important climate research is stuck in PDFs……. no one reads.

We’re fixing that. The IMPACT Lab VIP is a 1-credit program where you turn real climate and environmental research into content people actually engage with, working with researchers and businesses to get those messages out into the world. You’ll create everything from workshop branding to infographics to reels, with work that is used in the real world and then added to your portfolio.

Open to all majors, super easy application, apply by April 24.
