Although I was a little intimated by the wealth of expertise, I quickly felt welcomed and felt that my opinions and questions were valued. Soon after the first group discussion I felt no longer as "just a teacher" but as a professional that sought the same achievements but at a much smaller scale."
Universities CSU Sacramento City University of Hong Kong Region VII Comp CTR University of Oklahoma Tufts University UC San Diego University of Washington University of South Florida	"I attended this summer's institute and can honestly say that it was one of the most valuable in my career."

UCSIR beat the second one hands down! All speakers were interesting and engaging, and Freddy's humor kept us going throughout the week. Having to turn in an action plan before leaving was helpful in encouraging me to go ahead and gel some thoughts before moving on to other topics. I think this was absolutely the best summer camp anywhere. I hope to be at the one next summer."
