Comments from BEE VT Participants

  • "It was very fun, and BEE VT is a great experience. It builds a tight knit community between people from all over that look like each other and are interested in things that our people may not always consider. I made a lot of friends, and a lot of connections that could help me in the future as well. THANK Y’ALL FOR THIS EXPERIENCE!"

  • "Engineering was at the bottom of the list of what I wanted to do. It was an interest, but coming here doing fun stuff and learning about new stuff really made me want to do engineering."
  • "Getting a deeper knowledge like with chemical engineering made me want to do that. Before I thought engineering was just building stuff and cars, but there’s a lot more you can do."
  • "Seeing the staff, like seeing [program director] who graduated from here allows me to see that there will be help and that people are open to guide you on your path as a college student so that helps make me more confident."
  • "This program was definitely eye opening and I’m so glad that I did it. Thank you to everybody who made it possible."
  • "I loved all the activities we did throughout the week and honestly wish I could do it again."
