Testimonial
My time at Governor’s School was such an unforgettable experience. This was a one of-a-kind opportunity for a high school student toexplore various scientific specialties, engage in original research, and interact with passionate and gifted students from all over our great Commonwealth. The faculty and staff were very excited about their work, infusing us with even greater enthusiasm for the sciences. I made many friendships with a great, diverse, and wonderful group of people that will last a lifetime. Through this experience, I have grown as both a scientist and a person. I have been empowered and inspired to pursue scientific work to benefit my future patients and the health care system as well as to do my part to contribute to the betterment of our Nation. I will always cherish the many fond memories of my summer at PGSS.
