The overall experience at Rising Stars of Research has been fantastic. I would gladly suggest the event to any undergraduate who is considering graduate school.

– Kirill (University of British Columbia)

The RSR has been the second best part of this summer. I have met many interesting peers and discovered that most of young researchers do not fit the scientific stereotype.

– Michal (McGill University)

It was an eye-opening experience that helped further my interest in the research field.

– Jennifer (University of Toronto)

It was fantastic. Extremely well-organzied. Great food and accomodation.

– Randi (University of Northern British Columbia)

It was an excellent experience and I would encourage any undergraduate student doing research to apply.

– Colin (University of New Brunswick)

Absolutely phenomenal, thank you so much for this great opportunity!

– Sami (University of Toronto)

I really enjoyed the RSR experience. It was an intense few days but so much fun. Although the poster competition is an important part of the formal event, it is only a small part of what makes the RSR experience so great. If I were able to go again, I would try to book my travel arrangements so I could stay even longer!

– Ellen (McGill University)

Absolutely amazing. I think that a huge part of who I become professionally will be because of this conference.

– Mark (McMaster University)

Rising Stars of Research was the best event of its kind that I have ever been to. The organizers were really nice and helped everyone out the best that they could. It was fun, informative, and an overall great experience.

– Michael (University of New Brunswick)

RSR was definitely the highlight of my summer. It was a wonderful experience and it really motivates me to continue pursuing my research interests.

– Angela (University of Alberta)

Super Awesome! Everybody (the RSR team, the profs, the grad students) is so nice, friendly AND helpful! This is definitely one of the best conferences I have ever attended!
