Their experiences speak for themselves. When you hear our cohorts share their stories, you’ll see RECCS students describe how the program strengthened their confidence, sharpened their research skills, and helped them feel a true sense of belonging in science.

In addition to teaching me how to be a scientist and providing an opportunity to do research, RECCS led me to my identity as a scientist… I feel like a whole person now as a scientist-Former RECCS Participant

RECCS program not only improved my research experience, but it also gave me an opportunity to learn how to communicate with my peers and mentors. I gained communication skills, independent research skills, creating scatter plots, which were very difficult for me in the beginning of my project, and making a professional poster as well. -Former RECCS Participant
