Have
you heard about EGC Works? It's a new offering from the EGC. Every
several weeks, our "Mr. Podcaster" Jamie Oberdick interviews a PSU
faculty member that has worked or is working with the EGC. These 10
minute interludes are a great way to catch up with the EGC during a
walk, the drive home, or time at the gym. Check them out!
