Testimonial Heading link
I am a 1st generation college student who came from an inner-city school that did not prepare me for college. I came in not knowing what to expect or how to even achieve my goals. Having a faculty advisor to guide me throughout my research & also mentor me through my first year of college allowed me to grow as a student & an individual.
Testimonial Heading link
Prior to this ASP course, I was not very interested in research mainly because it intimidated me. I felt that only professors could create research. Thanks to my professor’s guidance, research no longer feels that foreign. Thanks to this course, I was actually able to see myself as an academic.

I was able to get accepted into the UPPF program thanks to having done 2 research posters in this ASP course. This really helped my application since my GPA was not the most competitive.

As a graduate student, I have more confidence in my work because I had the right guidance when I learned how to conduct my own research.
Testimonial Heading link
I have landed 2 internships which have both required me to do some kind of research. By having this experience under my belt, my supervisors were much more confident in my abilities & repeatedly told me how impressed they were with the fact that I conducted my own research at such an early stage of college.
