My Nonprofit Reviews

SSP was hands down the best summer experience I've ever had in my 16 years on this planet. It really helped me realize the extent of my own capabilities in terms of scientific research. In school, I enjoyed learning about science, but coming from a small town with limited opportunities I never had the chance to actively do science. I'm glad that SSP opened up my perception of what actually doing science entails. Was it difficult? Definitely, but with the support of the AD, AAD, TAs, and 35 other brilliant, amazing, and hilarious SSPers it was the most rewarding challenge I have ever undertook. In hindsight, the challenging nature of SSP is what I appreciate the most about it. I hope the research opportunities that I choose to pursue in the future will be as enriching and eye-opening as SSP was this summer.
