Congratulations to Talib Hakim for successfully completing the Student Science Training Program
Congratulations to High Schooler Talib Hakim for successfully completing the Student Science Training Program (SSTP) in the Brain Mapping Lab.
The UF-SSTP is a seven week residential research program for selected rising juniors and seniors who are considering medicine, math, computer, science, or engineering careers. The program emphasis is research participation with a UF faculty research scientist and his or her research team.
Students engage in the on-going research of the faculty-mentor for 28 hours each week, attend a lecture series on current research topics, and participate in a UF honors seminar class. Students enrolled in a Florida high school have the option to earn dual credit enrollment credit.
UF-SSTP alumni have gone on to attend the University of Florida and other prestigious universities such as Harvard, Oxford, Johns Hopkins and Stanford. They have become doctors, researchers, educators, engineers, and CEO’s of their own companies.
Congrats Talib!
