The Cordy Lab was honored to participate in the inaugural year of the Wake Forest LEAP program which pairs local high school students with Wake Forest faculty for a summer experience in STEM. Caroline Thornton from Reynolds High School joined us this summer and gained several new skills, including: staining slides, using a compound microscope, using an image analysis software, and a graphing software. Further, she used the opportunity to meet with faculty and other individuals on campus for informational interviews to help set her up for the next steps in her education. You can read about the LEAP program and its awesome end-of-summer symposium, which was held on Friday June 29th in this article published in the Winston Salem Journal.
