Student Testimonials
"The conference encouraged me in many ways to be focused and to advocate for myself and my dreams. Without attending the conference, I would not have met the LSAMP staff, which means I would have never been introduced to Dr. Hawn-one of the best professors at UMBC, and able to work in their lab conducting research. If I had never met Dr. Hawn, I would never have known about the two-year paid summer internship that I am currently participating in that focuses exactly on what I want to do. The LSAMP Summer Bridging Conference has created a ripple effect on my life." - Cean'e Batten '21
"Attending the conference made a significant impact in my life for an incoming transfer student. Attending this conference not only introduced me to faculty and staff that could help me once I get to UMBC but also tips I was able to use to be a successful student. I met a lot of great people at this event, and if I had not attended this event, my experience would have been very different from the experience I had in my first year at UMBC." - Olorunjuwon Ajayi '21
