"One of the most exciting parts of the program was when we visited Assembly Hall and got to see the technology that’s used to capture game-time footage that’s used to analyze the basketball program. It was fascinating to see behind-the-scenes virtual reality technology and computer labs in action. I also loved meeting new students from around the country, working with Luddy faculty and staff, and spending time with current students who were our counselors!"
