One major event that has occurred for me, which I feel I owe to SRI, is securing a fellowship from Pfizer Pharmaceuticals for the continuation of my research through the first year of my graduate education. Without the opportunities given to me through SRI, I feel that I would never have achieved this level of success in research. -SRI Alum
