What makes the Hank & Billye Suber Aaron Young Scholars Summer Research Institute so impactful for students? In this episode, Ms. Kennedy Ruff, a proud graduate of the Institute, interviews Ms. Carissa Dixon, a Duke School of Medicine employee, about her son Sam’s transformative experience in the program. Through the program’s focus on writing, research, and presentation skills, Sam gained a deeper understanding of the economic, social, and political forces that shape inequality. Listen as Ms. Dixon reflects on how the Institute empowered Sam and other students of color, equipping them with the confidence and tools to navigate their futures, and as she shares the vital role of parental involvement, career exploration, and networking in preparing the next generation for success. Tune in to hear more about how this program is shaping future leaders and why it’s an invaluable resource for students and parents alike.
