Memorable Quote: “So I did it [Studio Lab] in large part because I was inspired by the fact that there seem to be a lot of students who are interested in connecting with faculty, and doing research and collaborating on research. But they didn't know where to get started. And they didn't know about some of the existing opportunities we have.” Prof. Sarah Sokhey.
