TESTIMONIALS

 

Yang, Post-doctoral Fellow

“Graduate school gave me crucial tools in becoming an effective healthcare provider, but HigherEd+ was what really taught me how to turn that experience into becoming a thought leader in my field. The instructors’ presentations were thorough and instrumental in helping me win my first grant.”

“This membership has been a game-changer for our Office and our scholars. This year we’ve managed to put on twice the number of professional development workshops in half the time using the courses and facilitator materials that we received. We’ve also seen an increase in attendance at events on topics like AI and grantsmanship.”
