Program Reviews:
Summer 2026 Participant
My favorite part of the program was that everything was balanced out during the visits. Since we had so much free time, when it came to the academic events, I felt more engaged and excited since it wasn't back to back everyday.

Summer 2026 Participant
The elements I found most rewarding were our visits to our scientific sites. I found these sites rewarding because they allowed me to learn more about antibiotic resistance, different genetic modifications, pharmaceutical advancements, and so much more. On top of the academic learning, the trips also expanded my knowledge of different careers that I have available to me. This was helpful and yet confusing at the same time. When I started the trip, I knew what profession and path I wanted to take. But now that I have seen other paths that are available to me, I am not sure what I am wanting to do with my future.

Summer 2024 Participant
One of the greatest takeaways from this program was being able to immerse myself in the culture of various different countries for a couple of days and learning some customs and trying different foods while I was visiting. It is important to appreciate their culture while you are there and learning more about it rather than closing yourself off.
