Summer Research Intensive Program

2021: Student

“I just want to say thank you for selecting me to be part of this summer intensive program. I appreciate all the feedback, tips, and advice from all the members of the lab. I learned a lot these two weeks. I wish I would have been longer to keep working with graduate students and other interns as well. All of the questions I had about graduate school were answered and I listened to other information about graduate school I was not aware of. I am leaving the program with a much greater knowledge about graduate student life, research, and graduate schools applications. Thank you so much!”

“The two week intensive program was educational and eye opening, learning first hand from graduate students from UCLA about applying for graduate schools and what research entails was a takeaway that will benefit me in understanding what I would like to do in the future.”

“Before attending this program, I was unsure of where my academic journey would take me. The DiSH Summer Intensive Program has left me with insightful knowledge about graduate programs and the world of academia that I was previously unaware of. I’m extremely grateful for this opportunity, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for me.”

“The DiSH Summer Intensive was a great experience that helped solidify my pursuit of higher education. I received academic counseling that made me more confident in my future as a graduate student, and had the opportunity to collaborate with like minded individuals.”

“Participating in the Summer Intensive Program is one of the best decisions I’ve made in my transition to UCLA from Cerritos College. Dr. Tomiyama and her graduate students provided valuable coursework that helped me prepare for the rigorous UCLA experience.”
