The MRSD Newsletter was born in the spring of 2024 as the brainchild of two second-year students, Shivam Tripathy and Praveen Venkatesh. A committee of current students and alumni was formed, and the first edition was a huge hit!
Now, committee membership rotates, and new editions are published twice each year.
