Duke UndergraduateThis program was truly one of best experiences I've had at Duke so far. It has not only taught so much about research and bench work, it has also taught me how to live independently and connect with a community. This program has also exposed me to many different fields and perspectives that have significantly influenced my decisions on a major/future career. I have felt immensely supported throughout the entire summer and my future at Duke.
