Working with other St. John's students and leaders, and getting to know new incoming students.
What I wish was different
Nothing, it was a great experience and a great team to be a part of.
Advice
Be open to new experiences and new people. Exposing yourself to new experiences and people is a skill that can be applied to jobs universally and learning how to do that and step outside of your comfort zone is super important.

May 2018 • New York City, NY
What I liked
I liked working hands-on with different technologies when collecting and analyzing data.
What I wish was different
I wish we were able to continue research this fall in-person, however, due to the current situation, I understand the need to continue our work remotely.
Advice
One piece of advice that I would share about this experience would be to take advantage of the different opportunities that come your way. This position has allowed me to present research at national conferences and network with other individuals in my field.

Conference Services Team Leader
May 2017 • New York, NY
What I liked
Being a Computer Science major it allowed me to use various other programs and databases that I would not have necessarily used such as Trello, Oracle, EPM, Access, and Social Tables to name a few.
What I wish was different
I wish there could have been a little bit more training on how to properly use the technical equipment.
Advice
My piece of advice that I would share is to always be on top of what is going on. Make sure before you clock in for work you know before hand what exactly needs to be done and where to go instead of wasting time to see where to go and what to do when you could have already been there doing that.

Undergraduate Research Assistant
May 2018 • New York City, NY
What I liked
I like the problem-solving skills that this research opportunity is equipping me with. My research team and I hypothesize the kind of results that we expect to have, and if/when the reality is different, we adapt and modify our thinking. Research is teaching me the fine art of perseverance and failing forward. Any mistake made is one more way learned of how not to approach the experiment. Furthermore, it highlights the practical relevance of the theoretical scientific principles involved.
What I wish was different
I wish that I had started earlier. With all that I am continuously learning through the course of research so far, two years seems too short to work on the project.
Advice
The final result is only half as satisfying as all that you learn getting to it. As much as you would like for the experience to embellish your resumé, make a lasting meaning of every moment of it.
