"The activities in real-world and shadowing experts was an eCYBERMISSION experience that I will never forget. I believe the eye opening part was that I never knew how an Army engineer or scientist career would look like. If we do not see somebody in that career path, it is difficult for us students to imagine ourselves there. The experiences provided there and the friendships we made were invaluable and I now know there are other opportunities out there that I can explore."
