"The Summer School was excellent because it provided a balanced approach with research, touring, lectures and socialization among and between professors and attendees. The exposure to the rigors of research was very professional and intense which taught me a great deal about the scholarship involved in such an endeavour."Angela Bellan – Arizona, USA
