iGEM HQ Representative Program

Hello teams!

The iGEM HQ Representative Program is an email-based initiative focused on creating personal connections between iGEM teams and members of the iGEM HQ staff. The goal of the program is to provide teams with a personal contact at iGEM HQ through which team members can ask questions and get any help they might need during the season.

Teams can expect regular contact from their HQ Rep at least once a month from May through October. Teams who engage with their HQ Rep and reply to the HQ Rep emails will certainly receive more responses than the regular monthly correspondence. Each team has been randomly assigned to their HQ Reps, so keep an eye on your email to see who your HQ Rep is for this year!

We hope you find this program helpful and we look forward to getting to know you!

Cheers,
Abigail, Ana, Kitwa, Maria, Traci, and Vinoo
