Connects Alumni Experience

Undoubtedly the best part of the program was the warmth of the staff, teachers, and guest instructors, who were able to transmit the knowledge in a timely and polite manner. Through each session, I was able to feel that I had a better understanding of how STEM works, and I was able to dig deeper into myself to find, with the help of the instructors, the right path to success in my area of interest. The program was way too inspiring, I consider that it marked a “before” and “after” in my life.

At the time the program started, I was going through a stage where I felt lost and confused about the direction of my academic and personal life. That is why, seeing how it changed the reality that I thought was endless, I gained the strength to set bigger goals in my academic and personal life, knowing that it is not the time to give up because a fall is an experience, not failure. 

I believe that with that mentality, I am a stronger and more successful student because now I have what I need to make my goals a reality.
