The environment was good. I really enjoy the people I work with and they have a great mentoring community
What I wish was different
I wish I was able to start my lab research earlier and learned more about what the grad students were researching earlier in the summer
Advice
Make connections with professors and if your interested in something ask, that was how I got to get involved with this research.

Orientation Leader
July - August 2018 • Santa Cruz, CA
What I liked
I loved working with new students and giving them advice about college at UCSC. Being an Orientation Leader made me realize that I would love to be a Peer Adviser on campus so I applied to a job with similar duties after the program concluded.
What I wish was different
I wish that the week of training had not been so repetitive and dull.
Advice
One piece of advice is do not be afraid to put yourself out there. People are a lot kinder and more open than you would expect if you just take the time to get to know them.
