Purpose
Young Mu2e represents all early-career scientists working in the Mu2e collaboration by
- being an identifiable peer group to support all its members,
- acting as a useful resource for the collaboration, and
- advising the collaboration on issues relevant to early-career scientists.
Our constitution can be found in DocDB-14850 and the changes to the Mu2e Bylaws that allowed for our creation can be found in DocDB-13571.
