The Electron Ion Collider

The Electron Ion Collider (EIC) will be able to collide polarized electronics with polarized protons, polarized light ions, and heavy ions. The data from this next generation machine, with its high luminousity, will provided unpresented insights into how quarks and gluons give rise to nucleon properties such as spin and mass. While this machine is being built at Brookhaven National Lab in New York, universities and national labs ini South Eastern Section of the APS will be making major contricbutions to both the construction of the ePIC detector as well as various parts of the accelerator. I will give a brief overview of the scientific case for the EIC as well as review the overall construction project, highlighting several parts of the EIC being built the south earnern section of the country.
