As I reflect back on my experiences within WAGSFP, the people surrounding me have definitely made this time productive, engaging, and enjoyable in nature. I’ve found the relationship that I’ve had with other fellows to be the most surprising, spontaneous, and endearing part of this summer. Two occasions of our time together come to the…

Blog 9: My song! (Part 1)
MUY CHINGONAS! Being here, I’ve had a lot of time listening to music and when I came across this music video, I LOVED IT! Because Gloria Trevi and Alejandra Guzmán are extremely empowering and mujeres chingonas who summarize in the video my experience here. Being surrounded by such amazing, empowering, inspiring, and intelligent human beings in my…
Program Reflection
Coming to the close of these two months intensifies my gratefulness for being a part of, and contributing to, the commitments of this fellowship. I appreciate the seminars because they bring everyone together from our separate enclaves of work and offer chances for us to check the progress we are making against each other, whilst…
All Tea, No Shade
You want my review of WAGSFP eh? *sips tea* AWFUL, GARBAGE, TRASH. JUST KIDDING I LOVE IT. Seriously, this program has been so amazing thus far and I do not see it ever disappointing me. Seminars have proved to be useful, assignments (aka just blogs) have felt productive and inspiring, and the people (THE TEAM,…
My WAGSFP Experience
So far, I have really enjoyed my experience with UROP. I’m so grateful to be a part of this experience. The cohort seems enthusiastic about sharing, and I think we try to take many opportunities to bond. My mentor is great overall. My project came along very quickly, and she’s helped me all along the…
WAGSFP Programming Reflection
I had a great experience so far with the Women and Gender Summer Fellowship. Although I had previous research experience, I feel that I learnt a lot in such short period of time. I am very grateful the opportunity I have been given this summer to grow as a student researcher. I definitely enjoyed the…
Program Reflection: Spilling the Tea on WAGSFP
Welcome to an honest, no-holds-barred review of my time in the WAGSFP fellowship. And honestly, it’s been amazing (sorry to anyone hoping to read a scathing review). While there are definitely some areas where the program could be improved, as with any program, I’ve been surprised by how much I’ve genuinely enjoyed being a part…
Programming Reflection (AKA I love WAGSFP and everyone in it)
This summer, I’ve had a lot of fun actually going to the various WAGSFP programming! I was a little nervous going in for orientation, just wondering if I’d meet a decent group of people. Everyone I’ve met is more than just decent though, wonderful/smart/inspirational are better-fitting descriptors. As for orientation programming itself, it was pretty…
Programming Reflection
I feel that I have benefitted from the programming associated with WAGSFP. I think that the seminars have been a helpful complement to the research experiences we’re having. For future WAGSFP cohorts, I think some of the sessions could be somewhat more advanced and less general. The Brown Bag session I attended was interesting because…
Reflection on WAGSFP
I’d like to start this blog by saying how grateful I am to have had this opportunity this summer. I’ve decided to organize my thoughts for this blog with a highlights section and room for improvement section. I’ll begin with the much briefer room for improvement section: Room for improvement: 1) Certain seminars: I…
