The most inspiring and emotional moment of my experience was being told that I was wanted at UPenn. I had begun doubting my ability to succeed but talking to graduate students and professors about their research and engaging in stimulating discussions about it convinced me that I was prepared and ready to take on this new challenge.

– Kary Cabrera, 2022 DEEPenn STEM Participant

I learned so much about the graduate school process, and I’m excited to utilize those skills once I begin applying.

– Deborah Coffy, 2022 DEEPenn STEM Participant

Highly recommend!! It was a great opportunity to learn about their graduate programs, network, meet up with some old science friends, and make new ones too.

– Trinity Obiorah, 2022 DEEPenn STEM Participant

The DEEPenn STEM program inspired me to make the decision to pursue a Ph.D. in the biomedical sciences, and I am so excited to continue working towards that goal!
