When I was at the meeting last year, a medical student came up to me and introduced herself and gave me her card and told me that she would love to connect. And she did. She sent me an email. She was really wonderful. It fostered a really great sort of mentorship, sponsorship, relationship.

I think that that's something particularly unique to SWU.
