Research Administration Intern Testimonials

“From the beginning, Martin was a fantastic leader who was eager to introduce me to all of his talented colleagues. I appreciated his patience as he answered my questions. I also appreciated that he saw great potential in me and had high expectations. He is a great teacher who can see a learning opportunity in any situation. I will use him as a role model for what excelling in research administration looks like.”

“My advice is not to be afraid to ask questions. Be vocal about what you do not understand. This internship is great for anyone open to learn. If you come to work each day with an open mind, you will do great.”
