"The services I received from Destination: College and Talent Search have been incredibly helpful. As a first-generation student I had a lot of doubts and questions about starting college. Thankfully my Talent Search advisor helped me answer all of those questions."

"I learned about the intricacies of the brain that I wanted to know more about! I also learned other awesome things such as the ethics and technology corresponding to this interdisciplinary field. I love learning. Therefore, I loved this experience."

-Summer Leadership Academy Camper
"During the early years of being in Talent Search, I understood more about how to get into college and more programs that would prepare me for college. Also, I learned that Talent Search can still support me in many ways. I had one on one monthly meetings to keep me on track, and the tutors that Talent Search provides really helped me academically.
