鈥淚 had other internship opportunities lined up for the summer, but they were canceled. I am grateful Davidson provided this virtual internship for students like myself who were looking to do internships, despite the pandemic.鈥

鈥淧rior to this internship, I had only built a protein, I was happy to learn how to break down a protein for the first time.鈥澨

While she鈥檚 still unsure of what kind of doctor she wants to be, Sore is happy she was given the opportunity and credits 星空无限传媒 for providing her the tools and opportunity to succeed.
