"WISE RP definitely helped me feel more connected to the student body and make friendships more easily. It was easier to keep the friends I met through WISE RP since we see each other often at MOJO and attend events together. I have also found it easier to learn about student organizations that relate to STEM because I am surrounded by WISE RP students."
"I would describe WISE RP as a community focused on creating equality and bonding over STEM and identity. It is a community that helps the transition to college and provides support in all capacities."
