Student Testimonials
SANJANA | 16 | USA
“I didn't know if I could actually publish a paper when I first joined. It's amazing to see how this has turned out. I loved working with my PI. He was more than a mentor to me. It' s beyond imaginable to be able to work with him and get support from him. I want to have that same community feeling in my Uni as I have here. Everyone has been incredibly supportive. There is so much work behind the scene.”
SARAH | 17 | CANADA
“It was pretty nice. I got to have a one-on-one session with the professor. It was a really great opportunity because I had done a mentorship before with other programs, and I hadn 't had the opportunity to meet with a professor. The workload is okay. It was not too much. I feel more at ease doing research after the program, and my PI was also very helpful in providing useful resources.”
