Below is a collection of comments from former SROP participants:
“Many say that ‘you are only as good as the people you work with.’ So I chose NU because I wanted to work alongside the best. The intelligence, work-ethic, and curiosity of my faculty mentors and my fellow participants pushed me to become a cutting-edge researcher in my field. SROP gave me the confidence to pursue a senior thesis and to apply to top-notch graduate programs.”

“By participating in the SROP at Northwestern, I gained hands-on research experience and got a first-hand look at what the graduate school experience is like. I made lifelong connections with intellectual peers and current graduate students who gave me advice on everything from the GRE to applying to finding a great advisor. The SROP staff at Northwestern covered all the essential skills necessary for success in graduate school, from creating and implementing an experimental study to clearly communicating research findings orally to financing a graduate education. My experience was truly unforgettable and life-changing.”

“I had a wonderful SROP experience at Northwestern this past summer. Thanks to my faculty mentors, the graduate students, and my fellow SROP participants, I left SROP this summer with newly acquired knowledge and most importantly new friendships. This past summer was one of the most rewarding experiences of my young life and I am forever grateful to everyone involved with the SROP for the wonderful experience.”

“The SROP at Northwestern was an amazing, challenging, and humbling experience. Not only was I able to work with a great faculty member, but I also had an extraordinary amount of support from the SROP staff as well as other graduate students. It was incredibly rewarding to be able to spend substantial time working on a project of interest to me while, at the same time, sharpening my research skills and making new friends from around the country.”
