What Students Are Saying*

“I really loved the program. I feel that I can leave with a greater sense of belonging, a greater sense of who I am, where I'm going,

where I am right now...”

“The program uncovered things that I did not know

about myself. I have gained a lot of confidence and self-

realization throughout these six weeks. I am finally finding

my drive again.”

“The mentors, advisors and contacts I gained from this

program will be invaluable to me in the future. I am excited for even

more fruitful and intellectual relationships after skills gained

in this program.”
