Favorite Part about APSC: “The APSC department is incredibly diverse, excepting programs with students from all different backgrounds under one roof. This allows me to meet so many unique and talented individuals all with stories and backgrounds to share.  No matter your background you are given the same opportunities for hands-on learning experiences all fostered in a safe, fun environment.”
