"I really had fun participating in this program, because not only did I get to learn so much from my penpal, I also got a chance to strengthen my communications skills and get to know someone who is working in a field that is closely assosiated to the one I want to persue."
"It was nice to be able to reflect on my hopes and dreams in order to share them with someone else. The best part of sharing my aspirations with someone older than me and with similar past aspirations is that I was able to realize that my future can play put in any way that I would like."
"I think the program is a great way to get high school students more interested in STEM and/or college in general"
"I loved being able to ask for advice that I didn't know, it provided a level of comfort"
"I liked being able to put a face and a voice to a university that is generally considered to be at the pinnacle of academics, it made the institution and its attendees seem all the more relatable/real."
"This program was really helpful and I gained a lot of new information about college, preparation for college, specific programs, and other things in general. Thank you so much for this opportunity!"
