I just wanted to express my gratitude to the staff of UA and especially to Prof. Laurel Hoover, who helped me tremendously as a potential applicant. My experience with her was outstanding and a true highlight of my college experience. I also want to extend an appreciation for all the student mentors I had during that time.

I came to the university via the internship program and have been working there for over 6 years. I have always felt welcomed here, no office politics, and the opportunities that they provide me with are somehow a little more than what I could ever receive back home.

I'm a current student of the University of Arizona who, in addition to my studies, helps me keep busy. While I don't necessarily know how I'd like to make a living, it seems the work I do with University of Arizona is what's most fitting and that I really enjoy doing.
