Our employer partners were truly exceptional throughout the EPIC project, demonstrating a level of engagement and commitment that exceeded all expectations. They provided thoughtful, constructive feedback not only on project deliverables but also offered invaluable mentorship to students, taking time to explain industry perspectives and real-world applications. These partners actively invested in the educational experience, offering insights that bridged the gap between academic learning and professional practice. Their collaborative spirit and dedication to student growth made them true champions of experiential learning and invaluable contributors to the project's success.

Thanks for your time in working with my high school students! It was a joy to watch them do something that is so out of the box for a science class. It was also a joy to watch your Zoom interactions with students. I appreciate the encouragement and the patience! We had many really great conversations leading up to and after because of what you both shared!

Working with Amanda was a fantastic experience! She went above and beyond by offering a wide range of resources for students to explore and provided insightful, constructive feedback during their presentations, helping them refine their skills.

This experience has been incredibly valuable and educational. The opportunity to assume a leadership role allowed me to enhance my skills in team building while addressing both my strengths and areas for improvement. I am grateful for the support and time provided by Ann and Amanda, and hope to collaborate with them again in the future.

Our empoloyer reps were supportive and provided us with encouraging and constructive feedback throughout this project. After the oresentation, the feedback we received was thoughtful and allowed us to continue the conversation about our topic.

Amanda, Fernando, and Julie proved to be invaluable resources for our students throughout this process. Their extensive collection of written materials served as an essential guide, offering students a comprehensive foundation for their exploration. Their insightful feedback during the presentations not only provided valuable guidance but also offered clear direction for the students' next steps in their research. Their responsiveness to inquiries was exceptional and we are deeply grateful for their willingness to participate in this endeavor. Several students have voiced their desire for increased interaction with our employer partners. Given more time to structure the challenge, I believe we could develop strategies for partners to engage directly in a manner that is less demanding on their busy schedules.

A very interesting and enlightening project! I would've liked to communicate more with our partners, but the work we did was really intriguing and I enjoyed learning more about this topic.

Thank you for working with us! The project was a little confusing, so in the future it would be beneficial to meet directly with the sponsors throughout the project. However, we learned a lot working through it together as a class to make the final product.

Thank you so much for this opportunity! I learned so much about clinical trials and the need for diversity. I enjoyed coming up with possible solutions that will be implemented into your clinical trials. I wish we could have met with all of you more than once, but overall was a positive experience.
