"I have been reading many of the IIIT publications since my undergraduate years in Indonesia. Although it contains many interesting ideas, I had never convinced that it will be academically meaningful for me until the Summer of 2016.
The Summer Student Program (SSP) has totally changed my perception. It was my ‘nonconformist little toad’ moment."
-Muhammad Rahman (Participant, '16)
"I'm very grateful to IIIT for this opportunity to connect with so many great young minds of my generation. And I truly feel that I've made connections that will last a life time."
-Sara Swetzoff (Participant, '13)
"I have had such an amazing 5 weeks and won't soon forget the lessons and people of SSP 2014."
