In addition, students complete innovative programming to strengthen academic preparation, increase communication skills, and complete graduate school applications that will augment their research experiences. Measurable outcomes include matriculation at Case Western Reserve and other graduate programs, as well as indicators of science attitudes, coursework grades, and personal reflections of accomplishment.
