Take advantage of all of the resources and opportunities available to you. Being in college is about so much more than just going to class and it's a waste if you don't also enrich your academics outside of the classroom, particularly with respect to research and genuine curiosity.

Q: Tell me more about your experiential learning you were able to do with your funding.
A: With my funding, I was able to travel to Philadelphia and participate in the Summer Undergraduate Mentored Research (SUMR) Program at the University of Pennsylvania. This experience allowed me to work with several faculty mentors and gain exposure to different areas of health economics/health services research.
Q: What was your favorite part about your experiential learning opportunity?
A: Getting to refine my technical research skills and practice with presenting were both very helpful aspects of my experience. I also had the opportunity to meet some great friends as part of the experience.
Q: How is it helping you with your studies?
A: This experience has helped me to further my preparation for earing a PhD in economics by furthering my exposure to academic research. This will make my transition to a doctoral program much easier.
