What are C-TECCies saying about their experience? 

“This is not one memory specifically, but the thing I will take away from C-TECC the most is the combination of being pushed out of my comfort zone while simultaneously being supported by the rest of the staff. I would not have had the confidence to pursue certain opportunities without that guidance!”

“C-TECC fostered a very healthy work environment. I always felt comfortable requesting help and asking questions (both from supervisors and fellow C-TECCies), no matter how small.”

“It may seem daunting at first to join a research group, but your peers and supervisors make it a great place to learn new things. Even without prior experience, they make the environment comfortable.”
