“Being part of the mentoring program at uMaster with Dr. Jeru Manuel has been an amazing experience. The program is really unique because it lets students like me create our own research projects from scratch, starting with forming our own hypotheses.

It’s great because we get the freedom to work on something we’re genuinely interested in, which isn’t something you always get to do in schools or universities. Personally, I found it really exciting to learn how to do research on my own. I finally got to put all the theory I’ve been learning into practice, and that’s something I’ve always felt was missing in my education.

Dr. Manuel was super helpful throughout the process—he patiently helped me shape my hypothesis and answered all my questions, no matter how small. He really put in the effort to make sure my project was the best it could be and taught me all the research methods I needed to know.

This program has given me a lot of confidence in my research skills, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who’s looking to take their academic journey to the next level..”
