Bryn Mawr College

Undergraduate Research Assistant

June - August 2021 • Bryn Mawr, PA

What I liked

It was an insightful experience where I learned how to use remote sensing instruments and applications such as Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. The work time was very flexible too.

What I wish was different

I wish that there was no pandemic as off campus travel was banned.

Advice

Research Intern

May - August 2022 • Bryn Mawr, PA

What I liked

I got to meet and work with other students in the Bi-Co who shared similar academic interests-- through this I was able to expand my community both on campus and in the broader community and create a larger support system.

What I wish was different

I wish the start and ending dates were more concrete--I felt like I was doing work longer into the summer than I expected and originally agreed upon.

Advice

Make sure you take time to explore the location you are studying and working in and find fun things outside of the work that make it a unique experience. Also, don't be afraid to use your advisor or boss to your advantage when networking and expanding your community! That is part of the reason why they are there!
