Penn State New Kensington G.R.E.A.T. Program students and alumni share their experiences about the program.
"The G.R.E.A.T. Program has given me the opportunity to have an internship after my first year of college, which is something I never thought would happen. It equipped me with the tools and soft skills that I needed to prepare and go on an interview, as well as to enter the workforce, by giving me knowledge and experience very early on in my career and education." - Heather Shultz
"It introduced me to a lot of great people around campus and led me to land an internship at the end of my first year. With direct help from everyone in the GREAT Program, I am already meeting my goals of gaining experience in an engineering related field." - Nicholas Gavran
"My biggest takeaway from the G.R.E.A.T. Program is the hands-on experience I'm gaining from working in a research lab and being able to have conversations with the engineers I work with about their careers and the paths they took." - Sedona Rogers
"If it wasn't for the G.R.E.A.T. Program, I wouldn't have had the amazing internship that I did and a great employment opportunity before I even graduated." - Lynsie Headley
