I believe that The Helix Summer Science Institute is not solely an enriching academic experience, but also a social engagement opportunity. I believe that I would make an excellent student at the Helix Summer Science Institute 2016 because, by enhancing my understanding of the practical and theoretical aspects of science, I would be able to integrate this knowledge into my life. This academically rigorous program presents me with the opportunity to acquire methodical, logical and practical skills that are applicable to the real world. I am a very studious, motivated and passionate student, who perseveres in the face of adversity, while always respecting my peers. I embrace diversity, and believe that success is achieved through collaboration. I have a passion for science and public outreach, and I believe that these interests are connected.

In the past couple of years, I have paid close attention to Treniya’s school activities, as well as, her outside activities. Her academic record includes GPA of 4.3; participation in several Honors/AP Classes; Senior Class President; Varsity Cheerleading Captain and National Honor Society. What interest me was her involvement in social activities such as her involvement in

Erika is part of National Honors Society because of her outstanding achievements these past few years. She’s been able to show great, qualities, involvement and pride as a Streamwood High School student. Erika is an exemplary student and peer to many around her. She is respectful and responsible. Her pride is shown through events that she helped organize such as the “Teacher's Appreciation Week Entrance Welcoming” and her participation in the Streamwood High School Marching Band and Streamwood High School Pep Band. Though she believes that school spirit is very important she also knows that school is all about education and learning.

Dr. Sonia Rosado has served as an educator, a mentor, and friend to the Muir College staff for the last 10 years - something that certainly must be draining. And yet, she does it with the belief that each staff and every day is just as important as the last. Each year serves a different community of incoming students and also works as a continuation of the last.

Often as we grow our schedules we forget to acknowledge the fact that our name does not read “volunteer needed”. It has been said, and I sincerely repeat, that if we fail ever say no than our yes loses its value. A resounding alarm greeted an early six o'clock sunlight that signaled the end of a sleep cycle. Pulling on clothes and a quick flash of vision directed at a schedule summed up the morning other than the arrival to a National Honor Society meeting, which would be followed by a Leo club lunch meeting and trailed by a Business Professionals of America after school practice. A typical day of a Stephenson High School senior displays in this way. They are involved in many activities, both school oriented and community involved. This leaves little to no time to develop personality traits other than ones that involve servitude. While it is important to be involved in the community, overinvolvement decreases the quality of the rendered services and overwhelms the individual performing these service

As seen through her high school transcript, Troytoria is an intelligent and focused student. What you are not able to view through her academic transcript is her extensive extracurricular and volunteer activities that have made her into the student she is today. Troytoria has not only excelled academically but also mentally and socially. She has taken out a great amount of time to dedicate to community service opportunities to assist her immediate community. She has done so through community-outreach programs associated with the Dual-Degree program at Georgia State University. She is also an impressive worker at her part time job at Taco Bell, where she serves as a cashier several hours during the week. Her volunteer opportunities through one

Marisol has been academically involved in her community and studies. She serves as a mentor at the Elac Puente club

Within that capacity, Mrs. Tapia’s goal is to remove obstacles for every child that impedes their academic success. The obstacles that students face can range from a family argument to a student and family becoming homeless. The day to day job duties can range for Mrs. Tapia depending on issues arising from students or administrative duties that need to be completed. More often than not, Mrs. Tapia’s daily tasks do not get accomplished due to the constant interruptions. 50% of time during working hours is

I am writing in support of Cassidy Bulger and her application for consideration as a participant in the Summer Scholars Program through Baystate Health. I had the pleasure of having Cassidy as a student for three years. Additionally, I had the honor of working with Cassidy outside of the classroom as I was the Advisor of her class and Cassidy was the Vice President. I have kept in contact with Cassidy since she had graduated and I believe that I have gotten to know Cassidy as a person quite well. In this letter, I hope to highlight the qualities that I feel make Cassidy an ideal candidate and deserving of the opportunity to become a research scholar.

I write this in strong support of the 2016 Pathfinder Award nomination for Isabella (Bella) Greene, a student at Oxbridge Academy of the Palm Beaches. At the outset, let me state that Bella is an extraordinary student and it is truly a pleasure to write this letter about her.

In closing, I believe Sabrina has a range and depth of practice experiences to build on as she continues her studies in graduate school. Sabrina is an insightful and inspiring person that met challenges with unwavering dedication. I am confident that Sabrina will do well in graduate school and will make a difference in the lives that she will touch. I’m pleased to recommend her to you, believing she will succeed in your program as she had in ours. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions

The Office of Diversity Affairs focuses on two main initiatives, the first of which is the Summer Biomedical Research Program (SBRP). This programs affords undergraduates with the opportunity to engage in scientific research at BSOM and Vidant Medical Center. Undergraduates chosen for this program develop essential researching skills including writing and presenting clinical research. Furthermore, this program provides students who belong to groups that are underrepresented (e.g., racial/ethnic, religious, veteran status) in science with a unique opportunity to find a mentor in the medical field that shares a mutual interest.
