Last week, we hosted?a tour and panel?for the incredible participants of the CURE Internship Program, a high school research immersion effort at UCSF ???? The CURE Internship, a paid opportunity for high school juniors underrepresented in health professions, immerses students in a variety of research subjects while also promoting their academic and professional growth. We are encouraged by these young researchers and look forward to their future contributions to biological research. Thank you, CURE, for working with us to develop the future generation of scientists. #Research #SOLES #STEM #FutureScientists #UCSF #CUREInternship

??Looking back on the insightful discussions SOLES has had these last two weeks?? First, SOLES had a chance to table at the Spartan Showcase, where we had the chance to meet new people and share our accomplishments from the entire year. ?? Then, SOLES engaged in an interactive game with San Jose High School, featuring our upcoming SE co-chairs. Together, we discussed SOLES and SE initiatives, fostering meaningful connections and conversations. ?? Last, SOLES was invited to attend a special event organized by San José State University. Adriana Poo, the Health Sciences Librarian, reached out to us with an exclusive campus tour and student panel for the AVID Program at Columbia Middle School in Sunnyvale, CA. This event is intended to encourage middle school students, particularly those from the Latino community, to seek higher education. We've been asked to offer our experiences and thoughts, acting as role models and mentors for these young scholars. ???? #SOLES #SHPE #Inspire #BuildingOurFuture #SJSU #SPARTANS
