Two of the many things I appreciate about TSoG are it’s creativity and flexibility. Regarding creativity, I love how cutting-edge the program is and the variety of formats students can use to learn the lesson material, from digital lectures to in-person experiments. Regarding flexibility, I believe this program is truly for anyone, from the curious investigator to the dedicated academic. During my time in the program, I valued the time Dr. Foland spent investing in me as well as the relationships I made and unique projects I was able to work on.

I joined the organization as a student because I was interested in biomedical engineering, wanted to learn more about it, and see if it was the right fit for me. I came back as a volunteer to give back and share my experiences with the students

I saw my children thrive at school because they supplemented their learning, and also enhanced the way they learn to retain more knowledge. TSoG taught them critical thinking/life skills that will serve them well for the rest of their lives. They have built lifelong bonds and friendships with people they may have never met otherwise. TSoG also gives them a chance to give back to the community through great volunteer opportunities.

I was drawn to TSoG because it fueled all my passions that I wanted to explore beyond the classroom! From biomedical engineering to microbiology, TSoG has instilled real world applicable knowledge throughs hands on projects and innovative ideas that have set me apart as a student. TSoG is a community full of bright, lively students and mentors who think outside of the box on a daily basis, and I highly encourage you to hop on the train and join our team if you are a student looking to expand your skillset and take on new challenges!

I volunteered here because I truly believe in the mission of the organization. When you stand on the shoulders of a giant the clearer the future can be. I enjoy being a giant for others.

Relevant, practical curriculum woven into hands-on projects that emphasize professional development - that’s TSoG. I learned more in the participation of one project than I did in any other extracurricular; wish I found out about it sooner!
