2022 Cohort

Students share program highlights…

“Pretty much all of today was great and informative. I learned a lot from job shadowing all that to the pig hearts. I learned about the chambers of the heart, and I leaned about genetics with Rajani.”

“How hard they (the professional volunteers) work.”


“Learning my hands ain’t really clean” ~ Handwashing health demonstration station


“One of the best experience and colleges.”


What Teachers had to say…

“All of the U of M staff were amazing, passionate about their work, and very welcoming to my students.”


“Almost all students expressed their interest, desire, and NEED to go to the U of M for college.”


“This program has enlightened and expand my students' minds. WAY TO GO U of M!!!”



Volunteer reflections…


“It was the highlight of my month getting to see those students smile and laugh and push each other to think critically. I loved it so much”


“I realized that being a part of this program felt like a place I belonged. Each of the students that I had a chance to talk to had great questions and they were eager to soak up any information you could give them.”


“I learned how important it is to be of help whenever I can, and that my knowledge in my field can go a long way in helping others.”
