"Everyone was eager to go. There wasn't a single student missing from the class," said Sollors, who taught in the program last summer. "They were all asking questions and were engaged because it was an option rather than a requirement."
Out of the 31 students in the program, 25 are in science or engineering programs.
"You get to meet a lot of graduate student in fields other than your own that you wouldn't get to meet otherwise during the year," Sollors said.
