"The Summer Enrichment Program allowed me to develop my personal convictions of a need for social justice in American health in a collaborative environment where my SEP peers learned alongside me, challenged me, and inspired me. While interning at the state headquarters for Hospice of Michigan, I observed skilled, responsible leadership effectively applied within our existing healthcare system. After SEP, I felt much better prepared for the graduate application process, conversations about U.S. health care, and my professional career."

University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, MPH candidate (2009)
"SEP really broadened my knowledge of the field and allowed me to explore the different ways in which I could build a career improving people's health and their lives. SEP was truly one of the most important experiences of my life, not only did I meet amazing people and make great friends, I also found direction for my future. All the people I met both at the University of Michigan and on our site visits and social events were instrumental as I made decisions about the next steps to take. After having gone through the application process for graduate school, I can say without a doubt that having attended SEP provided me with invaluable information that made the process a success."

"The SEP was my first introduction to the field of public health. I was privileged to have had the opportunity of learning about public health and the many capacities in which public health graduates contribute to protecting the health of and advocating for world communities through their work. My SEP experience was pivotal in my choice to attend the U of M School of Public Health and pursue a career outside of medicine where I could make a difference in the quality of others lives."

"My experience in the SEP Program was a great introduction to the field and how the business really works. 20 years later, I realize what a tremendous leg up it was. The SEP Program was the foundation for my initial entry and direction in the field of health care management. The perspectives, connections, and knowledge from that summer fueled my opportunity and choices for the next 15 years."
