Alumni Spotlight
The SMP introduced me to self-guided research and thesis writing. With complete latitude on my topic, I joyfully researched for months. Unfortunately, I spent so much time researching I had very little for writing. The amazing and through help of Professor Savage help me hone my writing skills. While challenging, the SMP experience gave me confidence in my research abilities and writing skills that I will use in graduate school.
