“ I initially became interested in research at VCOM through the opportunity given to us through the international mission trips. Being able to experience a different culture firsthand, collect tangible data, and then use it in a research course for the post- baccalaureate program really instilled a ton of interest for me and really solidified the experience as a whole. ” - Chris Eckman Class of 2019, VCOM–Virginia
