ASE Testimonials

“It is not often that people, especially high schoolers, get the opportunity to work around such successful, accomplished people.”

-ASE Intern at PSU

Tell us YOUR story. 

Mr. Ken Barlow on ASE Intern Anastasiya, at AbSci

"At the start of the summer Anastasiya was thinking that she wanted to pursue a purely medical path now she is thinking that she'd like to combine that with research. In addition, she is realizing that as she makes a choice for college she wants to consider what kind of lab the college has."

 

Johnathan, at Oregon State University, ASE Alumni ‘10

“ASE had a huge impact on my college career, since I spent the first 3 years of my undergraduate degree working in the lab I had interned at through ASE. On top of my research, my choice of major was influenced by my work at the lab, which has improved my life and led to the career I have today.”

Johnathan is currently a Software Engineer at Google.

Valeria, at Oregon Health & Science University, ASE Alumni ‘10

“It opened up a world of opportunity I never thought possible. It made me look beyond the hidden veil and dig deep within possible career choices. With the help on my mentor I discovered all that stem fields can offer and it pushed me towards pursuing a career that suits my interests and can have an impact on others. I am extremely thankful for this amazing opportunity that I was given for it changes my life completely. From a lost, unsure girl I became a curious, confident woman. Thank you ASE.”

Valeria is currently a Medical Scribe for Scribe America.

Mr. Keith Greeney on ASE Intern Anika, at Summit Wireless Technologies

"The highlight of my summer was every time Anika reviewed her progress with the team and showed the engineers how to use the bar-code scanners. No one on the team knew it could be done."

Dr. Theresa McCormick, on ASE Intern Oreana, at PSU,

"I was impressed watching how fast Oreana picked stuff up. Tasks that would often take two weeks for many, would take Oreana one day. Plus, she wrote a grant."

 

Parent of ASE Intern

"It's been FABULOUS for him personally, as he has been quite shy, so has grown exponentially from this experience.  His mentors have been SUPER supportive of him, and he's made additional connections with others his mentors know that have really encouraged him.  I think this has also gone a long way toward his maturing into college-readiness for fall, 2017.”

Manisha, at Oregon Health & Science University, ASE Alumni '19

"I am more interested in pursuing computer science in college. I am very interested in business and was planning on a business major with a computer science minor, but now I am  seriously considering a double major."

Xavier, at The Bureau of Land Mangement, ASE Alumni '19

"The internship gave me a pool of knowledge of what career path to take for the future."

Parent of ASE Intern

"His ASE internship at IBM was a highlight of our son’s high school career. He not only enjoyed the work at IBM, he enjoyed all of you and it was because of his positive IBM experience he has chosen to pursue Computer Science."

Josh, at University of Portland, ASE Alumni

“Working with your team has taught me a lot about what science is really like.  Before, my only experience with science has been classroom-based – where all the data makes sense… But I can see that that is not the case.”

WILSON, AT Oregon State University, ASE Alumni

“The most important lesson would have to be on the sheer scope of knowledge, known and unknown.  The skills I’ve learned will help me throughout life, but the change to my perspective will affect me for years.”
