This experience with UROP through the Women and Gender Fellowship has been great. It’s supplied me with the know-how of conducting humanities-based research, which I have been doing in a half-realized way in my humanities classes all these years. Coming in as a freshman to Michigan, not even remotely did I consider UROP as a…

The Song (To My Testimonial)
A song that would describe my summer experience well is Abraham by Sufjan Stevens. Not because I played the song out every morning when I woke up or every evening when I went to bed during these past two months, but because I chose the song in one of my previous blogs at the start…
Blog Post 9: Part Dos – the Testimonial
WAGSFP was such a fantastic program overall, especially with getting a chance to work more independently on my research project, prepping it up to make it into my thesis over senior year, and meeting other fellows over the two months we spent together (and their own co-workers/mentors in WAGSFP Lunch). My favorite part of WAGSFP…
Blog Post 9: The Song of my (WAGSFP) Life
So in terms of the song I chose, whenever I worked on my project and tried to analyze survey results (or completed medical applications outside of that) , I tended to do this while listening to music. I don’t normally listen to music with a lot of lyrics while working cause I find that the…
Opportunities and Challenges
My current goals are to succeed as a senior at Michigan, complete my writing samples for master’s programs in August, and prepare for the GRE’s in August as well. After the presentation I realized that I didn’t actively adopt a growth mindset until I was in college. As of now I try to remain…
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…
Some Mistakes and Obstacles
From the time I spent with Joe Salvatore, I realized that there are actually many goals I have. Besides getting my poster ready for the upcoming UROP symposium, some other goals include finding journals to publish any sort of research paper I decide to make on my study in the future, getting ready for a…
Free Blog: A Month Without My Laptop
??????????????????????????????? I miss my laptop very much. I use it for everything. From my laptop I can learn about every field with a few short key strokes. My laptop also holds everything of importance, from academic work to family photos to video games. I believe a large source of attachment is how I purchased it…
A Reflection
Hi again y’all! With this blog prompt, I think it helps to be grateful yet honest when describing how the experiences provided so far are in the WAGSFP. It’s this combination that ultimately allows the most growth to occur within any person, group, or task – and that’s really what I’d want out of an…
A Mid-Summer Reflection
The process has been in full swing. I anticipate, as a first in a while, that I will continue to develop significant divisions among the concerns in my life past the end of this two-month experience. The division that has recently been weighing on my mind is that between my intellectual (I think I can…
