“Random” Alumni Comments
“Being in the COR program gave me the research experiences, faculty mentoring, and peer support that enabled me to get into the Ph.D. program of my choice (Claremont Graduate School) plus a 3 yr. APA Fellowship. As a result of my COR experiences, I was well prepared to handle the challenging graduate-school life.”
Prof. Judy Wang (COR: 1983-85)
"...no understatement to say that I would not have been able to achieve my career goals without the opportunities afforded by the COR program…and my COR mentors…"
Ben Aguilar (COR: 1993-1995) U of Minnesota Ph.D. 2001
“COR is the main reason I was accepted by the grad school of my dreams...the University of Maryland. I got to do research with top-notch professors on topics that I felt passionate about. Being a COR scholar gave me the background and experience to stand out.” Alexandria Dominquez (COR: 1996-1998)
