I found it rewarding to learn more about the research process and help the researchers in a small but significant way. Ultimately what I took away from this experience was the tools necessary to carry on with my own research, and hopefully I can take some of those skills and make a difference in the lives of others some day too. REAP and CEEE have illustrated for me what it takes to impact society on a large scale, and most importantly how integral research and policy change act as the mechanism for societal progress.

My favorite aspect of this program was getting the chance to collaborate with my Chinese co-workers and learn from their experiences. Their depth of knowledge on the issues that we focused on was very impressive and I am thankful to have played a small part in their work.

Research writing, literature review, questionnaire design, interview skills, and public speaking were just a few of the things that I learned during my internship. Simply being in China and a remarkable city like Xi'an can provide future students with a wealth of knowledge and unique set of experiences itself.
