What They're Saying
Exposure to a university at such an early stage in their lives may motivate these children to pursue a university education in the future. Many of the children who participate do not come from homes where post-secondary education has been modeled. I expect we’ll see some of these kids back here in ten years. I believe this is valuable learning experience and would recommend it for all students. Hopefully it will give them an idea about the various careers, and impress upon them the importance of studying and working to the best of their ability. They were very excited to come to the university and were surprised that there was more than one building. Making slime and playing in the gym were very special. Interviewing was very meaningful. Students were very interested in the art work and sculptures.
