"I like this Toll Fellows program because I’ve gotten a good sampling of every job you could have in a biology setting: collecting, inputting, identifying, data analysis, writing up results, and presenting. If you want to go into a biology field, you can’t understand it until you do it.”

“I’m incredibly thankful and lucky to have had this opportunity working with Dr. Schweitzer. It’s really interesting being able to work more as colleagues in this project while also being student and mentor. I’m able to freely share and develop my own thoughts, and my ideas are taken very seriously.”
“I've loved every part of this experience, but especially having the opportunity to talk to and learn from so many experts in the field. I also loved camping in Wyoming and getting to see how our samples were collected firsthand.”

events, internships, and coursework that complement the College’s diverse academic
programs.
