Student Testimonials

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to attend UM Summer Scholars Program. It allowed me to truly gain an understanding on how the next four years of my life in college would run. It helped me learn how to balance my social and work life. If I had the chance to come here again, I would take it. I’ve made great friends here and great lifelong connections with my professors.
