At the end of Fall Semester 2023, we had to say goodbye to our Communications & Media Liaison, Emma Lewis. She has worked at APRILab since Fall 2022, and has become an integral part of maintaining a fun work environment. (1/2)

She has done so much for APRILab, from coming up with ideas for our social media to letting us all know how much she loves Taylor Swift! We are so proud of her and we can't wait to see what the future holds for you, Emma! APRILab misses you already! (2/2)

It's Fun Fact Friday! A lot has changed since 1970, but one thing has remained the same: we still need congressional reform! The APRILab aims to use our evidence-based research to recommend actionable change toward a better political future. #PoliticsImproved
