Program Reviews:
Summer 2026 Participant
I found connecting with locals and meeting new people most fulfilling. My friends and I ended up connecting with researchers while at dinner after overhearing them talk about their research to each other. Many people do want to talk about their culture and life so don't feel afraid to ask questions.

Summer 2024 Participant
Getting to visit so many important international organizations that we are used to hearing about on the news was one of the greatest parts of this program. A major one that we visited was the W.H.O otherwise known as the World Health Organization who were a driving force for the COVID-19 pandemic and provided a lot of guidance for governments on how to handle the pandemic.

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.
