Testimonial:
“I have
been a part of the TREK program the past two summers and have absolutely
enjoyed the experience. I believe that it has given my students some
insight into real research and helped them prepare for the transition to
college. I have already had a couple of students approach me about being
part of the TREK program and I still use what I have gained within my
classroom. I am glad that it is being offered for another year and
hopefully for many years to come. What a great thing you all are doing at
Marshall, WVU and WVSU.” –James Coble, Spring Valley High
