"This feeling of gratitude and oneness with everyone that was there is something that I haven’t felt in a long time...we were all there to experience, learn, and grow. Being on this trip reminded me of the humanity of everyone."

— Meghan

"Over three years, we’ve not only developed a deep passion for research, but also gained the confidence, mentorship, and opportunities that are helping shape our future careers."

— Kit

Cohort 2022 Undergraduate Research Fellow

“The opportunity to formally engage in work of this nature has been impactful and, dare I say, life-changing for me. I know that I have been impacted in positive ways, and it has changed the lens I use to see myself, my peers, my colleagues, my city, and the greater world. Adding this perspective has been a welcome change.”
