“I don't want more time going by without saying...Thank You. Thank you for all the time, effort and work you went through to receive us. Thank you for giving us as much as you did and most of all, for giving me the chance to participate in the program. I also wanted to let you know how beneficial this program has been, specially because back home I had not been able to engage in research... Today, only one week after the program, I'm already part of a lab. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for everything.”

Victoria G. 2017 Cohort

The Results

We asked the 2017 Cohort to rate their skills before and after the REU program on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 = no ability, 5 = great ability). Here's how they rated themselves.

2.8 ↗ 3.9 Overall ability to think and work like a scientist BEFORE/AFTER the REU

2.5 ↗ 3.8 Overall research skill BEFORE/AFTER the REU
