college students from across the US) and the <a href="/partnerships/education/k-12-outreach/broad-summer-scholars-program">ӳ����ý Summer Scholars Program</a> (BSSP; for Boston-area high school students) helped give them the skills, support, and the passion they needed to propel themselves into careers in STEM. For many, the programs have been pivotal in their career development, exposing the students to new opportunities for the first time, enabling them to picture themselves as scientists, and teaching them skills they continue to use today.</p> <p>To mark the 20-year anniversary of BSRP and the 10-year anniversary of BSSP, we spoke with more than a dozen alumni about the impact these programs have had on their careers and lives.

top-notch universities and medical schools.</p> <p>While their paths have diverged, they say the <a href="/bsrp/broad-summer-research-program-bsrp">ӳ����ý Summer Research Program</a> (BSRP; for college students from across the US) and the <a href="/partnerships/education/k-12-outreach/broad-summer-scholars-program">ӳ����ý Summer Scholars Program</a> (BSSP; for Boston-area high school students) helped give them the skills, support, and the passion they needed to propel themselves into careers in STEM. For many, the programs have been pivotal in their career development, exposing the students to new opportunities for the first time, enabling them to picture themselves as scientists, and teaching them skills they continue to use today.</p> <p>To mark the 20-year anniversary of BSRP and the 10-year anniversary of BSSP, we spoke with more than a dozen alumni about the impact these programs have had on their careers and lives.
