SEE WHAT PREVIOUS EXPLORERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE PROGRAM
“There were so many people that were excited about what they did and made me want to get involved
too.”
“This program helped me to decide that I wanted to be a nurse and eventually a nurse practitioner. I
was able to decide this due to the wonderful faculty you guys provide us to talk to.
“I enjoyed getting to hear from a wide variety of health care employees.”
“Everyone was very nice and easy to talk to. Every time I came I had a lot of fun.”
