Natalie Boucher – Testimony

“As an undergraduate student interested in pursuing a PhD, the SPUUR program was perfect for me. I knew I was interested in research but had never experienced what it was like to be in lab full time. In my summer as a SPUUR student I was given the opportunity to attend multiple professional conferences, lead an independent research project, learn valuable laboratory techniques, gain skills writing and speaking about my work, and much more. After the program, and researching with Dr. William Ricke, I felt confident in my ability to succeed in graduate school. Dr. Vezina and Dr. Penniston do everything they can to help you succeed and have contagious enthusiasm about benign urology that will stick with me forever!”
